Palm Promotions won the purse bids for the vacant EU title fight between Lolenga Mock and Medhi Bouadla with a bid for 15 555 EUR.

Date and site for both fights are to be announced.
 
Heavyweights Aleksander Dimitrenko and Luan Krasniqi will go at it again November 28 in Oberhausen. Dimitrenko seemed to be on his way to an upset loss last year when he took out Luan with a left hook to the liver. Aleksander then went on to lose a WBO eliminator against Eddie Chambers and off the way he seemed to fall apart mentally against a much smaller opponent he΄s as much at the crossroads as the 38-year old Krasniqi is. At the stake is the WBO I/C title.
 
Bild Zeitung in Germany writes that Sauerland Event won΄t renew the contract, when it expires at the end of the year, with trainer Manfred Wolke, Olympic Gold medal winner for East Germany in 68.

In the co-feature middleweight Maksim Bursak looks to continue his unbeaten streak in a non-title ten-rounder.
