Robin Roos moves up in weight after coach vacated the Superior Challenge middleweight title
Roos was initially supposed to challenge Håkon Foss for the Superior welterweight strap last June. However, Roos missed championship weight by a tiny margin and subsequently went on to finish Foss in what turned into a none-title bout. Now, he’s since decided to move up a weight class and is now hoping to win the vacant middleweight title that was once helt by his now-retired coach Musoke.
Superior Challenge 26 goes down in Annexet in Stockholm and will be broadcast by TV6 in Sweden, Viaplay in Scandinavia and select European markets as well as FITE.tv for the rest of the world.
