  • Story Text: The challenger for the world Boxing Council's middleweight title -- Max Cohen -- is in top form following intensive training in preparation for the title bout against Rodrigo Valdes of Colombia in Grenoble, France on Saturday (12 April).

    The hard work is finished...over the last few days he has been taking a daily run in the Bois de Boulogne followed by a two-hour workout in the gymnasium. This included between 14 and 17 rounds each day with his two sparring partners: Rudy Koopmans of the Netherlands and de Kerpel of Belgium.

    Cohen's Manager, Roger Bensaid, says Cohen has never trained with more determination. He said there are no problems as Cohen is well under 73 kilos (163 pounds). The middleweight limit is 74 kilos (164 pounds).

    Cohen finished training on Wednesday (9 April) and was due to leave for Grenoble the next day.
