Felix Sturm defends his WBA belt against the unbeaten Noe Tulio Gonzalez Alcoba of Uruguay Heavyweight Taras Bidenko faces Richel Hersisia.

The "Universum Champions Night“ on Saturday June 30th 2007 at the Porsche-Arena in Stuttgart features three world championships as well as other great fights:

World Champion Felix Sturm (27-2-0) (12) will jeopardize his WBA championship belt at middleweight at the "Universum Champions Night“. After a very successful recapture of the belt against the Spaniard Javier Castillejo on April 28th on Oberhausen, he will try now to keep this belt for a long time. It will be Sturm’s first appearance in Stuttgart and his opponent will be the unbeaten WBA-Fedelatin-Champion Noe Tulio Gonzalez Alcoba (14-0-0) (7). The 28 year old Uruguayan Alcoba, who currently lives in Argentina, is called "El Carbonero“ (the collier). He is a typical south american fighter and a tough challenge for Sturm.
 
Felix Sturm: "I’m feeling great and I wanted to fight very soon after the bout against Castillejo. With the Urugyan Alcoba I have a typical South American fighter: a hard hitting puncher and unpredictable – a tough challenge for me! I’m really looking forward to my in Stuttgart and I have said a few times that I would like to fight there some time in the future. I have a lot of fans down there!“

An additional top – class fight at the "Universum Champions Night“ at the Porsche-Arena in Stuttgart was announced today: WBA-Interconti Champion at heavyweight Taras Bidenko (22-2-0, 12KOs) will face Richel „The Dutch Sonny Liston“ Hersisia (29-1-0, 23KOs) of the Netherlands.
