boxing scene.
Now the 29-year-old German-Turkish “square” Agit Kabayel (22-0, 14 KOs) will meet in the battle for the European title not with the Frenchman, but with the 33-year-old “Anatolian Lion” Umut Jamkiran (18-0, 17 KOs), who also lives in Germany, but has not yet received a local passport.
Camrican holds the minor title EE-EU (belt for non-EU countries that are members of the EBU). Three years ago he outboxed Arnold Jerjay. The rest of the fights were held mainly against no-names.
