Karo Murat: It was hard to part with champion of Europe belt
European Champion in super-medium weight (76.2 kg), the Armenian boxer Karo Murat (Karen Muradyan), acting under the flag of Germany, said that it was not easy to abandon the belt of Europe champion, but on the other hand, he made a right decision.
 
"I am a bit upset because of my European belt, but on the other hand I am happy to rise in the weight category. Over the last two weeks I have been working hard and keep discipline. I have had considerable success in heavyweight weight. I am confident that my strokes will become stronger," fightnews.com quotes Murat.

According to Murat, his fight against Demchenko in undercard of Hook - Ramirez duel will be the first good test in the new weight.
