GERMAN SUPERSTAR FELIX STURM TO FIGHT NEXT ON DECEMBER 4TH
Former WBO
middleweight world champion Felix Sturm, 21-1 (9), will be back in the
ring on December 4 in Berlin. On the undercard of the European
heavyweight championship between Luan Krasniqi and Timo Hoffmann at
Estrel Convention Center the 25-year-old German will fight for the
second time since losing a controversial decision to Oscar de la Hoya
on June 5.
In his last fight the handsome stylistic fighter scored a unanimous
decision over twelve rounds against American Richard Frazier on
September 18 in his hometown Leverkusen, Germany.
Sturm is frequently in the limelight of German media. Recently he
posed for a spectacular photo shooting in a German cold storage house.
On the photos published in the German magazine MAX Sturm beat on slaps
of meat in the style of the “Rocky” movies.
Last week Felix Sturm had a refreshing and extensive live appearance
on MTV.
“I have great reflexes. That’s why I don’t get hit a lot”, Sturm
replied on the question of saucy moderator Mirjam Weichselbraun why he
still looks so good despite being a professional boxer.
On the question which of his punches his opponents are most concerned
about Sturm replied: “My opponents are most concerned about my great
stamina. Because I can go twelve rounds easily. I can even up my pace
in rounds eleven and twelve. Most of my opponents are unable to handle
that.”
As a homage to Sturm’s great performance against de la Hoya and as
another hint to the questionable result on June 5, MTV introduced
Felix Sturm as “Middleweight Champion of the World”.
