19-year old super middleweight contender Vincent Feigenbutz (19-1, 18) take on 38-year old Mauricio Reynoso (15-1-1) for the vacant WBA interim title in the chief support to Arthur Abraham vs Robert Stieglitz on July 18 in Halle / Westfalen.
Reynoso lost to Jamie Barboza in 2012 for his sole loss and returned earlier this year and won a four rounder.
Feigenbutz is ranked # 7 by the WBA while Reynoso is # 8.
‘’Since I started my professional career, I have said that my goal is to become world champion,’’ said Feigenbutz. ‘’Many people laughed at me and said I would never achieve this, but on July 18, I will prove all these people wrong and show I have what it takes to become the next world champion.’’
Said promoter Kalle Sauerland: ‘’Vince is a phenomenal athlete. At just 19 years of age he has already worked his way to the top of the division. On July 18, he can cement his position by becoming the WBA Interim World Champion. A victory is never enough for Vince, he wants to knock his opponents out, and this guarantees excitement for the fans at the Gerry Weber Stadium.’’
