June 27th - Daniel Geale vs Geard Ajetovic - IBO Middleweight Title

Press Release

World Title Championship- June 27th 2008

The Cube
Campbelltown Catholic Club.


Australia’s premier boxing team, Grange Old School Boxing, will demonstrate why they believe their I.B.O. middleweight World Champion, Daniel Geale is in fact the “The Real Deal” when he defends his crown against London based….Serbian born powerhouse… Geard Ajetovic.

Ajetovic is no stranger to Australian shores having competed in the 2000 Sydney Olympics, though any past affinity with our lucky country has taken a back seat with the following declaration regarding Geale published in a U.K. tabloid

'This is my ticket to changing my life and really earning some real money from boxing. I can't waste it. He has a very impressive professional record with many knockouts, but that does not worry me. I am looking forward to going to his country and knocking him out”.

With a 300 fight amateur career highlighted by a Silver medal in the 2002 World Championships and a professional record of 16 wins, 1 loss to European champion Christophe Canclaux and 1 draw, Ajetovic’s intention may be heart felt and well intended but if Daniel Geale’s recent sparring with Contender champ Sakio Bika is any indication the stretcher will be on standby from the opening bell for the brash talking Serb.

A convincing victory by Geale will further his plan to take Anthony Mundine back to school should he make the mistake of dropping down a division and campaigning at middleweight.

A dynamic under card will feature Victorian, Frank LoPorto as the Main Support when he puts his Australian Light Middleweight Title on the line when former IBF Pan Pacific Middleweight Champ Peter Mitrevski Jnr. steps up to the challenge.

LoPorto has engaged in 3 non-title fights since claiming the crown in October last year.

28 year old Mitrevski has fought mostly at middle and super middleweight during his 11-year professional career. This fight has the experts divided as to whether the hard punching champion will have the experience necessary to successfully defend against the guile of Mitrevski 19-5-1 (8ko) who has stated

“I‘ve dreamt of being an Australian Champion since the very first day I donned the gloves”.

Undefeated Billy “The Kid” Dib takes on Pilipino Rey Anton Olarte over 8 rounds. The WBC World-rated Dib is coming into this fight looking to impress after he struggled last time out against Leon Maratas on May 16 at Campsie.

Olarte’s last outing saw “Wild” Steve Wills on the canvas and hurt in the 5th round and “The Kid” will need to be at his elusive best to counter the guaranteed attack from the willing Pinoy.

Coming off 2 attempts at World Title glory “Deadly” Rob Medley shows his reluctance to take a backward step when he faces dangerous Indonesian Ade Alfons over 6 rounds Alfons is the current Indonesian Welterweight champion and will take the fight to Medley from the outset.

Local crowd pleaser Steve Casserly faces tough Queenslander Damien Lawler over 6 rounds at Junior Middleweight. Lawler is a former Qld amateur Champion and has had nearly 100 amateur bouts. Industry experts rate Casserly a real prospect but Lawler has not shirked at the chance to ply his trade…

Steve Wills battles Leon Maratas in a lightweight bout set for 4 rounds. Wills is undefeated with a record of 6 wins and 2 draws and is looking to make some noise in an already talent-laden lightweight division in Australia

Fans are guaranteed value for money when this quality event kicks off at 7.30 pm, June 27 at Campbelltown Catholic Clubs’ “The Cube” which is a multi-million dollar arena set to become the new home of Australian boxing.

Tickets are available at the club or by phoning Grange Old School Boxing
