Nikolai Valuev: "I Want To Come Back Better"

Sauerland Event

•Sep 3, 2007

Nikolai Valuev (46-1, 34 KOs) has returned to Germany to continue his preparations for his comeback fight against Jean-Francois Bergeron (27-0, 19 KOs). The duo will battle it out in Oldenburg on September 29. It will spell a new beginning for the former WBA heavyweight champion, who has parted company with long-time coach Manuel Gabrielian and appointed Alexander Zimin instead. The coaching change has left the Russian Giant more determined than ever: "I don´t want to return to old strength - I want to get better than I was before," the 34-year-old vowed. "I have a clear goal: I want to win my title back as soon as possible."

Abraham Goes For The Record, at Jumping Rope

Sauerland Event

•Sep 2, 2007

IBF middleweight champion King Arthur Abraham almost wrote his name down the history books on Saturday night when he attempted to break the speed rope skipping world record. Featuring in front of a live national TV audience in the "Guinness World Records" show, Abraham managed 237 speed skips within 60 seconds - just four shy of the old mark of 241. "I would have loved to set a new record," the 27-year-old said afterwards. "It would have been an honour to find my name in the Guinness Book of Records. I got quite close."

Valuev: "Chagaev No Different Than The Others"

•Mar 6, 2007

Undefeated WBA heavyweight champion Nikolai Valuev expects his first mandatory title defense to be business as usual. The Russian Giant (46-0, 34 KOs) comes face to face with top-ranked contender Ruslan Chagaev (22-0-1, 17 KOs) in Stuttgart on April 14. "The fight will be no different from my other bouts," Valuev said at today´s press conference in Stuttgart. "The fact that it will be my first mandatory defense does not make a difference at all. I take him very seriously. I´ve been in training for weeks."

Povetkin´s biggest challenge is finding opponents

Sauerland Event

•Feb 14, 2007

In boxing, it´s not always the fight that is the biggest challenge. Just ask Alexander Povetkin. The former world amateur and European champion, who also finished first at the 2004 Olympics, has had a hard time finding opponents. After ten wins in as many pro fights (8 KOs), nobody wants to cross his path any more. Former world title challengers Danny Williams and Monte Barrett refused to get in the same ring with him. "It´s been increasingly difficult to find opponents for Alexander," said Sauerland matchmaker Hagen Doering. "We have checked with so many heavyweights but nobody seems to be interested. It looks as if the name Povetkin is already feared around the world."

•Jan 30, 2007

Oktay Urkal is preparing for a hot battle in the heat of San Juan, Puerto Rico where he takes on WBA welterweight champion Miguel Angel Cotto on March 3. "That will be a tough fight," said the 37-year-old mandatory challenger. "But I am ready. It´s not the first time that I´m in the same ring with a world-class fighter."

Mads Larsen Joins Sauerland Event

Sauerland Event

•Jan 26, 2007

Sauerland Event today unveiled the spectacular new signing of "Golden Boy" Mads Larsen, who has joined the Berlin-based promoters with immediate effect. A tedious lawsuit with his former promoter has kept the 33-year-old Dane (45-2, 37 KOs) out of the ring for over three years. "I´m thrilled to return to action and fight for Sauerland," Larsen said after putting pen to paper in Germany´s capital on Friday. "Their professional set-up will help me to get back to the top."
