Universum officially announced today (May 17) that WBA 160 lb champ Felix Sturm will defend the title July 15 in Hamburg against Spanish veteran Javier Castillejo. This clears the way for EBU champ Sebastian Sylvester to make another voluntary defence and he takes on Finn Amin Asikainen June 3 in Hannover on the Valuev vs Beck show. Castillejo will remain mandatory challenger for the EBU title.
Co-headlining the Hamburg show is WBA bantam champ Wladimir Sidorenko.
Today (May 17) Spotlight Boxing won the purse bids for EBU heavyweight champ Paolo Vidozīs defence against Ukrainian Vladimir Virchis. Date and site is to be announced in two weeks.
