Jack Culcay (22-1, 11 KOs) will look to defend his WBA World Super Welterweight title against the undefeated American and former WBO World Champion, Demetrius Andrade (23-0, 16 KOs) on March 11 from Friedrich-Ebert-Halle in Ludwigshafen, Germany.
As amateurs, both men competed at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and claimed gold medals at the Amateur World Championships. Andrade beat Culcay on his way to winning gold at the 2007 tournament in Chicago. Ahead of their WBA World Super Welterweight showdown, Culcay admits he is eager to avenge his amateur defeat and prove he is the top name in the division.
"Losing to Andrade in the 2007 amateur championships is something that has stayed with me to this day," says Culcay. "I'm so happy that I will finally get the chance to get my revenge against Andrade and show I am the better fighter."
Promoter Kalle Sauerland of Team Sauerland is predicting an ‘explosive encounter' between the warring super welterweights and expects their amateur rivalry to add to the occasion, "This will be the first World title fight on German soil in 2017, and what better way to start the year," said Sauerland. "We have two of the top names in
the division going head-to-head in what promises to be an explosive encounter. Their amateur rivalry will be sure to add to the intrigue. Jack is out for revenge. He may has lost out to Andrade in Chicago, but now the American must travel to Jack's homeland to try to take the title from him."
