WBA heavyweight champion Juergen Braehmer is set to return after recovering from his hand injury. The date of March 12th has been stamped down with strong South African Thomas Oosthuizen back in the opponent's slot.
Originally, the fight was scheduled to take place in November of last year, but Braehmer suffered the painful hand injury in camp and was firced to withdraw. The fight takes place at the legendary Jahnsportforum in Neubrandenburg, Germany.
"I am delighted that my injury completely healed and now we can do the fight," Braehmer said.
The fight was previously set to happen in Monaco, but the new location is anything but a disappointment.
"In my last fight against Oliveira I was simply in a terrific mood. In such an atmosphere to fight, it motivated me a lot and it's nice to return now," says
Braehmer (47-2, 35KOs).
Oosthuizen (25-0-2, 14KOs) is a tall southpaw with a tough style who is ten years younger than the champion. He's 3-0 since moving to the light heavyweight division in November of 2014.
