The German management company of Dutch heavyweight powerpuncher Richel Hersisia headed by Olaf Schroeder, today confirmed that a three-fight deal for the current Benelux champion has been signed with German promotional powerhouse Universum. The first outing of the package will see Hersisia, 26-1 (21 KOs), take on Brazilian champion Rogerio Lobo, 38-14 (32 KOs), live on DSF television on January 14 on a show in Aschersleben staged by Universum partner SES Boxing. In a pro career that started in 2001, the "Dutch Sonny Liston" Hersisia has been beaten only by Olympic champion Audley Harrison, when defending his WBF world heavyweight title for the second time in March 2004, but has since reeled off five consecutive wins, all by knockout.
