Massive Danish domestic fight in recent history just around the corner

The Danish mega-fight between Patrick Nielsen and Rudy Markussen edges another step closer on September 12 as the bitter rivals share top billing at the Arena Nord in Frederikshavn, Denmark.

Nielsen moved to super middleweight in March and the two fighters have been on a ‘Collision Course’ ever since. The fight is set to be the biggest Danish domestic fight in recent history.

With terms close to being agreed for a blockbuster showdown later this year; Nielsen and Markussen must now win their fights at the Arena Nord.

Looking forward to getting back in the ring, Nielsen commented:

“I’m looking forward to getting back in the ring. I had a short break after my last fight but now I’m back in the gym and the serious work can begin.

“Every fight is a must win fight for me now, and this is no exception. I want to look good and I want to prove I’m ready for the big names in the division. I’m not worried about Rudy Markussen. He’s fighting on my undercard! I’m the A-side and he’s a has-been. After I win in Frederikshavn, Rudy can get it next!”

Happy to be back fighting, Markussen added:

“It feels great to be back

“I can’t wait to brush off the cobwebs and remind everybody of what I can do. I’m a little wiser now. I’m living a healthier lifestyle and working hard everyday. A lot of people have written me off – they say I’m too old and that I’ve been out of the ring too long, but I’m ready to prove them wrong. There is still a lot more I want to achieve and a fight with Patrick gives me all the motivation I need!”
