"WBO light heavyweight world champion Zsolt Erdei announced on Wednesday that he will move up to the cruiserweight class to fight WBC world champion Giacobbe Fragomeni of Italy on November 21.Erdei, WBO champion for the past six years, said fighting a heavier boxer with a bigger punch will be a great challenge for him.
The question, he said, is whether he will be able to make use of his speed and foot-work and whether his stamina will hold out.
Erdei’s German coach Fritz Sdunek will assist him in this one bout before retiring."
