    Not the most known fighter in the world, but being danish, i know him from a couple of fights, and he is fighting tonight against russian Alexander Saltykov 5-7-2.

    Sam Rukundo was an olympic quarter finalist for Sweden and is ranked #15 by WBC and beat Robert Osiobe 8-2-4 for the ABU title, who is much better than his record, in his last fight. He has a record of 11-0-1 and i see him having a bright future.

    That fight has just finished. TKO 4 for Sam Rukundo. He kept his hands high, pumped straight punches into the russians face until his corner stopped it, after him turning his back to Sam.

    Edit, He was asked after the fight if he wanted Amir Khan he answered Why Not? I dont know if they want him to fight me, but i want to fight him.

    Note that Robert Osiobe beat the living **** out of his game opponent (he had a record of 4-1-1) on the same card. He has two draws against Jadgar Abdulla. A Draw against Amir Khan. A split decision loss against Spend Abazi. Rukundo did what neither of these could, after drawing with him in the first fight.

    I think he has a 50 % chance of beating Amir Khan.
