German junior middleweight contender Rico Schultz (10-1, 9KOs), 26-years-old, will face veteran Emmanuel Clottey (28-10, 16KOs) on February 1 at Müggelspreehalle in Hangelsberg, Brandenburg, Germany.
Since getting knocked out by Mike Alvarado in 2009, Clottey has gone 4-1, including a fifth round TKO win in August. Schultz, however, returned last month after more than 2 years away from the ring and stopped journeyman Suleyman Dag in one round.
