“I’m looking forward to getting back in the ring again,” says the Danish heavyweight hope, who returns to action following a unanimous points win over Andre Bunga on June 16 in Munich. “I’m glad I can stay active and I’m excited to be boxing at home in Denmark.”
Ljungquist will box for a second time in Struer following the second-round KO of Frantisek Kohout in March. A career best performance for the former three-time national and two-time Nordic champion, who is successfully transitioning into the professional ranks.
“Last time in Struer, there was a great atmosphere,” said the 27 year-old. “There was an energy in the crowd that I could use in the ring, and I think that showed in my performance.
“I’m going to repeat that success when I return to Struer on August 25. People can expect a fierce Kem making an entertaining and exciting fight that will end when I stop my opponent. My punching power is enough to shake anyone out there!
“I’m still adapting from an amateur to a professional, but I feel that I’m getting stronger and stronger with every fight. My boxing is getting more and more explosive, and I don’t have to worry if a fight goes the distance because I know I’m in good shape.
“The goal is a big fight within the foreseeable future, but right now, I’m just looking forward to giving the fans at the Struer Energi Park another great fight!”
Promoter Nisse Sauerland: “Kem has huge potential. Not since Brian Nielsen has Denmark had a heavyweight with so much talent. We are increasing the level of opposition with every fight, and Gennadi Mentsikainen will provide his toughest test yet.”
