Romanian boxer Razvan Cojanu (16-2, 9 KOs), the WBO #14 ranked heavyweight, plans to do the unthinkable. He plans to end North Carolina’s run on day one. He plans to upset the undefeated WBO heavyweight champion of the world in his backyard and do it on less than two weeks notice.

"To be honest, I don’t want to tell nobody nothing until after the fight,” Cojanu told this weekend. “I’d like it to stay like that: undercover. I am 100% sure a lot of people will have a big shock. It’s better like that. I’m coming from the dark. I’m under cover. Me, my coach, everything is undercover.”

It’s a tall order, but the 200-1 underdog (yes, you read that correctly) not only is confident that he will shock the world on May 6th in South Auckland, but that he will have fun in the process.”

“Me, I have no pressure on my shoulders,” Cojanu said of his upcoming title fight. “You understand? I have no pressure on my shoulders…because I don’t have nothing to lose. Tell me what I have to lose? Nothing! I’m going to go over there and I’m going to have fun. And it’s going to be 100% a much better fight than Parker-Fury.”
