Enzo Maccaranelli is new European Champion
This afternoon, former titlist Maccaranelli traveled to Russia to challenge heavily-favored prospect Alexander Kotolbay for the European cruiserweight title. Maccaranelli knocked out Kotolbay in the first round. After suffering knockout losses to David Haye, Ola Afolabi and Denis Lebedev, this is a good first step towards getting Enzo back in the title mix. Also on the card, Dmitry Sukhotsky, fresh off a decent showing against Juergen Braehmer, knocked out gatekeeper Pablo Daniel Zamora Nievas in the first round to win an IBF regional trinket.
