Universum Box
Promotions returns in April with two events which will take
place within a week of each other. April 17 in Magdeburg,
Universum joins forces with SES for a show headlined by WBC
interim middleweight champ Sebastian Zbik who again will
take on Italian Domenico Spada. Zbik won a very close
decision the first time out to win the title but many
observers felt Spada had nicked it.
In the co-feature WBO super middleweight king Robert
Stieglitz will face Eduard Gutknecht, who comes in fresh
off a win over ex-champ Karoly Balzsay.It's an exciting all
German match-up where Stieglitz's speed and punch should
make the difference. Stieglitz hails from Belorus but has
been based in Magdeburg for several years.
It's not
official yet but on April 24th Universum will have WBO
light heavyweight champ Juergen Braehmer headlining a show
at a site to be announced. According to Ring de Idea, the
opponent will be Argentinian Mariano Nicolas Plotinsky.
according to
the Australian paper Sun-Herald, Universum will promote
the WBA heavyweight eliminator between Ruslan Chagev and
Kali Meehan. The winner will then get the winner of David
Haye vs John Ruiz.
It's nothing
new but for unknown reasons, Russian middleweight Dmitry
Pirog dropped off the fight against EBU champ Matthew Macklin
April 16 in the UK. Pirog was the mandatory challenger for
Macklin.
