In his last bout in January in Newcastle he rocked up in a Buzz Lightyear uniform before beating Britain's Corey Fry.

For his return at Oktagon 57 in Frankfurt against Eemil Kurhela, he raced to the ring to the tune of Batman as the caped crusader.

And it proved a Dark Knight for Kurhela as he was chocked out in round two.

A day beforehand at the weigh in, the Finn offered Holzer a chocolate bar from his homeland.
