Felix Sturm, the 47-year-old former middle and super-middleweight champion will fight again on July 11 in Stuttgart, Germany, on a promotion called One Last Dance.
The veteran German, 45-6-3 (20 KOs), has been matched with Granit Stein, who is 20-2-1 (11 KOs), at the Porsche Arena where Sturm had big nights against the likes of Robert Stieglitz, Darren Barker and Ronald Hearns.
Following a decision win over Fedor Chudinov in 2016, Strum was out of the ring for four years and has had only sporadic activity since, boxing once each in 2020 and 2021, losing to Istvan Szili in 2022, having two bouts in 2023 and one last year. He weighed 174.75lbs for that bout, a third-round stoppage of the 14-1-2 Benjamin Blindert.
Sturm first rose to international prominence 22 years ago when he was thought exceptionally unlucky to lose a 12-round decision, and his WBO middleweight title, to Oscar De La Hoya.
Stein, 33, fought as recently as May when he was beaten on a split decision by Diego Carmona over 10 rounds.
