Have to say this the fight with Brooks is very good matchmaking.

I will start to take him serious if he comes through this unscathed.

Brooks has a 5-0 record.

And a 100% win amateur record on top of it with most of his fights stopped early, something pretty rare.

It sounds to me like a KO guaranteed.
Both of these guys are taking a high risk low reward fight.

This on TV then or no?

At the moment it's looking unlikely to be broadcast anywhere in the UK. It did look like dazn was in the works recently but 2 days out and no feedback or announcement, I imagine that ship has sailed

Nice little promotion for the fight, youtube has auto translate that can be turned on

Is GBM promoting this?

he was at the venue whilst they were setting up

For this show it feels like the dutch outfit called Boxing Gladiators has done most the work for it.

His promotional situation is quite interesting, there seem to be so many companies with some sort of stake in him. For this fight there has been promotional content from GBM, Boxxer, boxing gladiators, and even Hennessy sports.

I don't know anywhere near the amount of people that Spud does in the trade, but from an active boxer I know..... "Shalom's a snake and you can't believe a word he says."

Ah, that’s not good, was hoping we had a decent alternative. I wish Hennessy still promoted

GRADUS KRAUS' BIG DREAMS CONTINUE WITH THEO BROOKS TEST IN ROTTERDAM

Light heavyweight prospect Gradus Kraus has made quite the impact in a short time since turning professional in October 2024.

The 24-year-old from Oss, Netherlands has won all 10 fights to date, with nine opponents being stopped in the first two rounds.

Kraus will take the next step in his burgeoning career when facing unbeaten Theo Brooks in a scheduled eight-round contest at Topsportcentrum, Rotterdam, on Saturday.

"I'm happy with him because he won all his fight, almost all by KO," Kraus told The Ring. "I think he's a tough guy and also had a lot of amateur fights, it's a good opponent."

The Dutchman is coming off an impressive second-round stoppage over Boris Crighton on his promotional debut with Boxxer on January 31.

"It was the first time I had fought southpaw; we wanted to do that, it was one of our game plans," he said. "I dropped him three times in the second round with body shots. It was a good fight, nice opponent, nice name, he had given good fights to other opponents and I beat him in two rounds, so think I did a good job."

Kraus will return home for his upcoming fight with Brooks as he continues to build his following in The Netherlands.

"I like to fight in The Netherlands because it's my home country and a lot of fans watch me there," he said.

"I can't wait to fight for Boxxer again in the UK, though. For me, it doesn't matter if we fight in the UK or the Netherlands, I like to fight."

Kraus, currently trained by father and nine-time kickboxing world champion Albert, began his journey as an eight-year-old. Although initially immersed in the same sport his father excelled at, he later switched to boxing and now also benefits from the wisdom of Peter Fury.

"I wanted to go pro four years ago but Peter told me, 'Stay, keep going in the amateurs, learn a lot,'" recounts Kraus, who openly admits to losing between 15 and 20 times during his 86-fight amateur stint.

"That's what I did. He also said it doesn't matter if you win or lose, because you're only making steps [to improve]."

In the unpaid code, Kraus won silver at the 2022 under-22 European championships but was unable to qualify for the Olympics before turning over. Nonetheless, his father believes this is a far more natural fit for his son.

"He was never really interested in the amateur fights," said Kraus Sr. "He has improved maybe even faster than we expected."

So far, Kraus' power has told in his fights and that highlight reel ability has allowed him to remain active thus far.

"I like to be active, I like to fight," he said. "Almost all my fights, I finished in the first or second rounds. I don't have injuries, so every fight when I win, I can't wait to get another fight and that's how it goes.

"I hope after May 9, three fights more [fights this year], I hope to be in the world's top 10 and at the beginning of next year, a title shot. We'll see how it goes, how Boxxer can get me some good opportunities, I can beat some good names and then step up to the top."
