Comments Thread For: Robert Stieglitz Retires From Boxing, Boesel Will Now Face Murat

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The next show promoted by SES will go ahead July 1 in Dresden. On top there is a very interesting fight for the now vacant EBU light heavyweight title between Dominic Boesel (24-0) and Karo Murat (30-3-1). It was first actually announced by the EBU that then champion Robert Stieglitz would take on Boesel but he has now relinquished the title and in comes Murat, who is promoted by EC Boxing. Boesel holds the WBO and IBF I/C as well as the WBA Contl titles but Murat have more experience from bigger fights.

How come Erik Skoglund hasn't fought for this title?

[The Conundrum]

He's challenging Nathan Cleverly for the WBA belt

Probably a good decision from Stieglitz. Boesel/Murat is a good Euro level fight

Didn't know Murat was still fighting. Boesel has gotten artificially high ratings by the WBO (was #1 to Kovalev for a while before the Ward fight) without fighting anybody so will be interesting to see what happens if he's ever put in with a legit top 20 fighter. Murat would have qualified five years ago

Stieglitez was a tough fighter, but not great.

[The Hammer]

Robert Stieglitz has had a very good career.

50 wins, just 5 losses.
