Il Campione Europeo dei pesi massimi Sergio Leveque, combatterà domani a Mosca contro il Campione Mondiale dei pesi massimi Dmitry Pechurin. All’angolo di Sergio, come in ogni suo combattimento di scacchipugilato ci sarà il maestro Gianni Burli della Boxe Spoleto.
I due rappresentanti italiani sono volati quest’oggi a Mosca con partenza da Milano. Avranno qualche ora di riposo prima di affrontare su ring, domani ora pranzo italiana, nel quinto incontro, quello clou della The International ChessBoxing Cup, un atleta alto più di due metri che, meno di un anno fa, ha conquistato il titolo mondiale a Calcutta. Un chessboxer che Sergio Leveque ha battuto a Londra, tre anni fa, nella sua prima difesa del titolo europeo. Ma da allora Pechurin si è allenato duramente e, l’anno passato, ha vinto il titolo mondiale.
Sergio Leveque commenta così questa avventura: “abbiamo il vecchio stallone italiano contro il giovane e fisicamente mostruoso campione dilettanti russo; simile al copione di Rocky IV“. Il maestro Burli si dice fiducioso di vincere questo incontro e portare gloria al movimento del chessboxing italiano.
