December 3rd at Harzlandhalle, airing live on Bild.de in Germany and Cable Onda Sports in Panama. IBF middleweight Euro title at stake, Radovan's second defense. Pretty sure I've actually never seen the Romanian-German but have been peripherally aware of his existence for a few years, since he served as George Groves' chief sparring partner for Chris Eubank Jr. (guessing more because they are the same height than any stylistic commonalities?). Going by his résumé, however, it seems obvious he's at least decent for European level - and the Brummie-Sandgrownian is shot to bits, as was evident already even before he lost to comeback tour Maravilla (in his mid-forties, over seven years after losing to Cotto with a busted knee). In his last four bouts Radovan has gone 1-0-1 against Ronny Mittag, retired Luke Blackledge, and shut out Nuhu Lawal - altogether not too shabby. You have to reach quite far into the past for Rose to find victories of that quality - either the Carson Jones rematch in 2015 or Javier Maciel in 2013.
I read the title wrong. I thought it was Dennis Rodman vs Brian Rose aka London Real. I was gonna say that Triller has gone too far.
