Robert Stieglitz Retires From Boxing

An injury occurred in training to former WBO world super middleweight king and current European titlist at light heavyweight Robert Stieglitz has forced his German promoter SES boxing to look for another suitable opponent in order to stage the fight against mandatory challenger Dominic Boesel (24-0, 9 KOs).

As a result, Karo Murat (30-3-1, 19 KOs), already European title holder from 2008 until 2009 in the lower class, will now be the Boesel’s opponent on July 1st in Dresden, Germany, for the now vacant EBU title. Stieglitz is set to be the next mandatory challenger to be squared off against the winner once he is fully recovered.
