According to a report by Reeklama, WBA middleweight champion Felix Sturm will finally return to action on September 4 in Germany. Sturm has been inactive due to a legal fight with his promoters Universum since last year. A judge issued a ruling that Sturm could buy his way out of his contract for only 950,000 Euro, an amount far less than what Universum wanted Sturm to pay to become a free agent. Sturm had claimed his contract with Universum expired last August and the promoters claimed to have him under contract until 2012. No details were revealed on the settlement terms.

Universum confirmed the situation with a statement: Universum Box-Promotion and Felix Sturm have agreed to settle their dispute amicably and peacefully and will go their separate ways to the future. Both sides agreed not to disclose details on the agreement. Felis Sturm, Universum wishes you well in the future.
