Nothing is official, but it appears that Sauerland Promotion will return to Nykoping (Sweden) on December 19 and again with local hero Erik Skoglund on top.

I f all goes according to plan, Skoglund (23-0) will square off against Derek Edwards (27-5-1) in a scheduled 12-round light heavyweight bout.

Edwards is of special interest for the Swedish crowd, having handed super middleweight Badou Jack his lone career loss - a 1st round knockout in early 2014.

Jack rebounded to capture the WBC super middleweight championship this past April. Edwards have since lost two straight.

The undercard will feature super lightweight Anthony Yigit (15-0-1), heavyweight Otto Wallin (13-0), light heavyweight Oscar Ahlin (12-1) and super lightweight Klara Svensson (15-1).

All fights mentioned above require special permission for longer distance than 12 minutes in accordance with the Martial Arts Law.
