Mario Preskar update
First of all - Mario will fight again, and moreover against opponent with a pretty decent boxing record
source: Sportske Novosti
Croatian professional boxer Mario Preskar is facing Matthew Greer (7W-2L-0D) of USA, this heavyweight fight will take place in Savvis Center (St.Louis, Missouri/USA) on 8th of July under Don King Productions.
How serious are Preskar preparations for the fight you can tell by the fact Željko Mavrović (38, croatian boxing legend and former EBU heavyweight champion) joined Preskar in the ring as one of his sparring partners.
Mavrović explained why: - "Most of his sparing partners are not at the Mario level, and from my expirience I can't tell how important is sparring in a preparations for the match. So I'm here to help Mario with my knowledge and expirience."
And this is what Mario said about his upcoming fight: - "Having just a fighter's name can't tell you much, opponents should be analysed by watching tapes of their fights, and such a opportunity I had so far with only 3 of 10 boxers I fought."
Asked about his long periods of non-fighting Preskar added: - "Unfortunately, that's correct. But for me personally, a bigger problem is lack of adequate sparring partners, and my coach Leonardo Pjetraj is trying hard to give me the best ones he can get, but without satisfactory results. Therefore opportunity to have someone like Mavrović as my sparring partner is a huge benefit for me, though he's retired I still can learn a lot from him."
