Normally Sauerland's events are transmitted by public service channel ARD. That's not the case when Mikkel Kessler is fighting due to that fight being PPV in Denmark and ARD has a significant 'overspill' in countries bordering Germany.

Last time however (Ward) it was shown on a 'local' station called MDR and it's possible that that will be the case again.

It's possible that the fight gets shown in other european countries though. Besides Britain, Poland, Czech Rep., hungary etc. are normally showing the big euro fights.

Opinions on Nathan Cleverly?

Is he good enough to compete with Lightning Zsolt Erdei?

If that fights comes off for the EBU Light Heavyweight title it will likely end up being an elimination fight for the right to challenge the Dawson-Pascal winner for the WBC title.

hope aydin'll KTFO him and than fight Berto. this would be so amazing...

Why is Aydin vs Collazo for the WBC title? I thought Berto was the WBC champ. They need to get this **** figured out. The WBA does the same ****. Shane Mosley is'nt even the champ anymore some russian has the title. WTF is going on. Don't they understand that that is key to building a fanbase. They need to have reliable rankings or else how is someone supposed to follow this sport?
