It is possible that Felix Sturm (42-6-3, 18 KOs) has not yet said his last word in the professional ring. The five-time world champion - four times as a middleweight, once as a super middleweight - was sentenced to twenty-eight months in prison for tax evasion and embezzlement.
Of this term, Sturm served only eight months. After the conclusion in March 2022, he returned to the ring, but unexpectedly lost on points to Istvan Seely. Another ten months passed, and Sturm announced his next return. The former world champion is due to perform on February 18 in Stuttgart. At the moment, the name of his opponent is still unknown.
