AMI Productions have added a fourth world title fight to the big show in Bercy on December 5 as WBO fly champ Omar Narvaez will take on Frenchman Bernard Inom. Inom was to have challenged EBU fly champ Ivan Pozo on December 9 in Madrid, but that is apparently off. AMI has Fabrize Tiozzo vs Paul Murdoch, WBA 175, Luis Parra vs Brahim Asloum, WBA 112, and Miriam Lamare vs Jane Couch, WBA 140, on the bill.

The problems between Olaf Schroeder, manager of Dutch heavy Richel Hersisia, and former EBU 154 lb champ Mourad Louati, estranged trainer for Hersisia, are getting worse. According to Louati, Hersisia got a total of 49,000 EUR (about 58,500 USD) for his defense of the WBF title against Audley Harrison (won by the Brit on a fourth round knockout). " But of the 49,000, Richel only got 13,000" says Louati and adds, "I got 10,000 and Schroeder took the rest (26,000)".
Louti sued Schroeder in a Dutch court earlier this year. "But then Olaf offered me and my laywer an out of court settlement" says Louati. "My lawyer was to get a copy of the contracts and ten percent of the purses from Hersisia´s fights but we haven´t seen a dime yet."
