Roman Fress secures a shot at the Temporary Global Title Match

In an exciting turn of events, German boxer Roman Fress will be stepping into the ring against British boxer Chris Billam-Smith for the WBO interim world championship title. This fight comes as a result of the current WBO title holder, Gilberto Ramirez, being unable to defend his belt due to an injury and upcoming shoulder surgery.

Fress, who is represented by the SES boxing stable in Magdeburg, has expressed his excitement about the opportunity, stating that it is the moment he's been working towards for a long time. The fight is significant as it comes just in time for the 25th anniversary of SES, Fress' boxing stable in Magdeburg.

The event in Magdeburg was a special one, with Fress not only fighting for the interim world title in the cruiserweight category, as announced by the WBO, but also with Artur Reis celebrating an achievement at the same event.

The minimum bid set by the WBO for the fight is 300,000 dollars. SES boxing stable and Chris Billam-Smith's management have 20 days to submit bids for the fight. The winner of this highly anticipated bout will be one step closer to challenging the current WBO title holder for the full championship.

Fress, who previously reclaimed his WBO Intercontinental belt three years ago, is confident and ready for the challenge. Fans are eagerly awaiting this exciting match, which promises to be a thrilling display of boxing skills and determination. Stay tuned for more updates on this highly anticipated fight.
