A pair of heavyweight bouts accompany an intriguing strawweight unification bout.
American journeyman Rydell Booker will travel overseas to take on Croatia's Petar Milas in a scheduled ten-round heavyweight contest. The two will meet on an October 18 show that also features regional favorite and reigning WBO 105lbs titlist Sarah Bormann, 20-1 (7 Kos) against Japan's visiting WBA beltholder Yuko Kuroki, 25-8-2 (10 KOs) at Wansbeker Sporthalle in Hamburg, Germany.
Also confirmed for the show, German heavyweight Albon Pervizaj, 19-1 (14 KOs) takes on Venezuela’s Luis Jose Marin Garcia, 16-11-1 (11 KOs) in a ten-round fight. The visiting Marin is no stranger to the German audience, though boasting just a 1-7 record in the country.
Booker, 27-10-1 (14 KOs), makes his second career appearance in Germany, both taking place this year. The 44-year-old heavyweight lost an eight-round decision to Viktor Faust on April 5 in Potsdam.
