Germany´s Artur “Thunderman” Mann will take on undefeated Romanian Ion Mihai Desrobitu in a cruiserweight tilt on November 2nd at the Schilde Halle in Bad Hersfeld, Germany. Mann (21-4 with 12 KOs) lost to Kevin Lerena for the IBO title in 2019 and Mairis Breidis for the IBF title in 2021. He'll be seeking his second win since losing to  Muslim Gadzhimagomedov of Russia, who went on to become a bridgerweight champion. The 34 year-old Mann was born in Kazakhstan and will have a significant advantage in experience over Desrobitu (age 30). The Romanian, who brings an 8-0 record with 4 KOs, turned professional in 2019. While he has yet to compete at the level of Mann, he also doesn't know how to lose as a pro, and he will be a dangerous proposition for the local fighter, at least in the early rounds.

 

Billed as “Homecoming”, Mann vs. Desrobitu will be promoted by Mann Promotion and is preceded by a six-fight undercard.
