Dennis Ceylan (19-2-2, 8 KOs) rematches Jesus Sanchez (9-1, 2 KOs) for the EU Featherweight title on November 24 at the Ceres Arena in Aarhus, Denmark.
Ceylan says it is ‘all or nothing’ as he looks to avenge the shock second-round knockout defeat he suffered to Sanchez on March 10 at the Struer Energi Park, and reclaim European honours having previously held the EBU Featherweight strap.
“I am very happy to get the rematch with Sanchez,” said Ceylan. “He caught me with a good shot last time, but I was up and ready to continue, and I don’t think the fight should have been stopped, but I can’t blame the referee, I should have I kept my hands up and not given him the opportunity.
“This time it will be different. I’m not afraid of this guy. He may have beaten me before but it won’t happen again. Now, I want revenge. This fight is all or nothing for me. If I win, my career is back on track, but if I lose, I will retire.”
Sanchez returns to Denmark full of confidence following his impressive knockout win, and has vowed to get the better of Ceylan for a third-time having reportedly schooled the Danish boxer in a sparring session prior to their first encounter.
“We sparred together in 2017 while you were training in Madrid, and I got the best out of you. We fought in Struer, and I knocked you out. The third time we meet, it will not be any different,” says the Spanish Champion.
“It’s always dangerous to predict a knockout because you risk looking for a big punch and opening yourself up for counters. Therefore, I am happy to simply predict a win – be it on points or inside the distance.”
Promoter Nisse Sauerland says he is excited to bring big-time boxing back to Aarhus, and has warned Ceylan must ‘be at his best’ to defeat Sanchez.
“We look forward to returning to Aarhus for another fantastic night of boxing on November 24,” said Sauerland. “Dennis suffered a heavy defeat last time he shared a ring with Sanchez, but now he has the chance for revenge!
“After a tough 12 months, winning the EU title will be a huge boost for Dennis’ career and can bring him back into EBU and World title contention, but as we saw in March, he will need to be at his best to beat Sanchez.”
The EU Featherweight Championship contest between Dennis Ceylan and Jesus Sanchez will top the bill at the Ceres Arena in Aarhus on November 24 with a full undercard featuring the very best of Danish boxing set to be announced.
Tickets will go on general sale on Friday, October 26 at 9.00 (CEST) and are available online via www.ticketmaster.dk or by calling (+45) 70 15 65 65.

Re: Dennis Ceylan vs. Jesus Sanchez II - November 24, 2018
Featherweights Dennis Ceylan, 19-2-2, and Jesus Sanchez, 9-1, are back on to battle it out for the vacant EU title.
The fight was first set for November 24 but was postponed when Ceylan fell ill. It was then rescheduled for January 19 but then Sanchez changed management and the EBU again set purse bids with Nov 21 as deadline but again the parties involved came to an agreement and the fight is again set for January 19 in Denmark with Team Sauerland promoting.
No site has been named yet but the rumors have it again heading for Struer - where Sanchez knocked out Ceylan in a huge upset a year ago.

Re: Dennis Ceylan vs. Jesus Sanchez II - January 19, 2019
Dina Thorslund (12-0, 6 KOs) defends her WBO Female World Super Bantamweight title against Alesia Graf (19-7, 13 KOs), while Dennis Ceylan (19-2-2, 8 KOs) rematches Jesus Sanchez (9-1, 2 KOs) for the European Union Featherweight title on January 19 at the Struer Energi Park in Denmark.
Thorslund returns to her hometown fortress for a fourth time to make the first defence of the WBO World title she claimed with a unanimous points win over Mexico’s Yessica Munoz at the Struer Energi Park on August 25.
The 25 year-old is currently Denmark’s only reigning World Champion, the first Dane to have won a World title since Mikkel Kessler, and only the second female in Danish boxing history to have achieved this success.
“This will be the fourth time I box in front of my fans in Struer,” says Thorslund. “It has been amazing every other time, and I hope it will be again. It is almost too much to hope for, but so far, the support has only improved each time. It’s hard to describe how much it means to have people in Struer to back me up.
“Alesia Graf is tall so she poses a different kind of challenge than I’m used to. She’s a good fighter, but let me make it clear: I’m not afraid of anyone!”
Graf, nicknamed ‘The Tigress’, from Stuttgart, Germany, has held versions of the World title in both the Super Flyweight and Super Bantamweight divisions, as well as challenging for the Bantamweight crown on three occasions. She is an experienced contender, who is confident of upsetting the home fighter.
“This is a big opportunity for me to fight for the WBO World title,” said Graf. “Dina is undefeated, which obviously says something about her, but I go into every fight with the intention to win, and this is no different. I will prepare as best as possible. It will be an exciting fight for sure, with me coming out on top.”
Having suffered a shock second-round knockout defeat to Sanchez at the Struer Energi Park on March 10, former European Champion Ceylan has the chance for revenge as he rematches his Spanish rival for EU title.
Ceylan has said it is ‘all or nothing’ as he looks to get his promising career back on track on January 19, stating a loss will result in his retirement.
“Sanchez caught me with a good shot last time, but that’s not going to happen again,” said Ceylan. “This time, I’m going to prove that I’m the better fighter. I’m not afraid of this guy. I want revenge. This fight is all or nothing for me. If I win, my career is back on track, but if I lose, I will retire.”
Sanchez returns to Denmark full of confidence following his knockout win, and has vowed to get the better of Ceylan for a third-time having reportedly schooled the Danish boxer in a sparring session prior to their first encounter.

“It’s always dangerous to predict a knockout because you risk looking for a big punch and opening yourself up for counters. Therefore, I am happy to simply predict a win – be it on points or inside the distance.”
“We’re delighted to be returning to the Struer Energi Park with another fantastic card,” said promoter Nisse Sauerland. “The atmosphere is always electric when Dina fights, and this time the fans can look forward to a double header of title fights with Dennis challenging for the EU Featherweight title.
“Dina’s star continues to rise, and I believe she is close to establishing herself as one of the best female fighters on the planet. Dennis has had a difficult twelve months, but now has the chance for redemption. By defeating Sanchez and claiming the EU title, he can get his career firmly back on track.”

Re: Dennis Ceylan vs. Jesus Sanchez II - January 19, 2019
Spanish featherweight Jesus Sanchez, 10-1, did it again and stopped Dane Dennis Ceylan, 19-3-2, this time in the fifth round of an exciting slugfest.
Sanchez came out like a man on a mission and attacked with wild swings. Ceylan tried to box on the move but was caught by a big right hand and was hurt. Sanchez went all out and appeared to punch himself out and Dennis the Menace seemed to recover.
Ceylan, a neat, technical boxer with no power, boxed well in the second with Sanchez slugging it out and missing. Sanchez kept coming but Ceylan was able to keep him off and by the fourth it looked as if Sanchez was a spent force but early in the fifth he scored with a right hook and this time Ceylan didn´t recover.
Sanchez, again went all out and this time there was no rescue. The referee appeared to have stepped between them but then Ceylan stumbled over and went down and he was out of it. The count was to "9" when he got up and Ceylan was given every chance but eventually it was stopped with the Dane protesting but hurt and unsteady. Time of the stoppage was 1.43.
For Ceylan this may be the end of the line.
