Boxxer expands into the Netherlands this weekend with a show in Rotterdam headlined by Gradus Kraus(10-0) vs. Theo Brooks (5-0). Boxxer is partnering with leading Dutch promoters Boxing Gladiators for the light heavyweight main event on Saturday, May 9th at the Topsportcentrum. The 24 year-old Kraus won his last fight, in January, delivering a second-round stoppage victory over Boris Crighton (13-7) at the Copper Box Arena. Before that, Kraus stopped Rostam Ibrahim (13-2-2) inside two rounds in September, and now returns to home ground as he looks to take his next steps towards world glory. 

 

Boxxer's CEO Ben Shalom said: “We believe Gradus Kraus is a future superstar of the sport. He already has a huge following in the Netherlands and we want to continue to build that fanbase both at home and on a global scale. We are excited to be partnering with Boxing Gladiators to stage our first event in the Netherlands. The country has a rich tradition in combat sports and a passionate fanbase that deserves world-class boxing events. We believe May 9 will be the start of something special for Dutch boxing.”
