Usually, side A takes the right to demand revenge after a defeat, but in the case of a veteran Felix Sturm (43-6-3, 18 KOs), the situation developed in such a way that he decided to give revenge to one of his former opponents Shukr Altai (15-3, 14 KOs). The boxers first met at the end of February this year, and after ten rounds the judges unanimously gave the victory to Sturm.
As a result, the rematch will take place on December 2 in Ludwigsburg. The 44-year-old boxer from Leverkusen, one of the greatest legends of German professional boxing, was a middleweight and super middleweight champion.
“The first fight was very good and we want to give the fans an even better fight in the rematch. See you in Ludwigsburg,” Sturm promised.
The boxing evening will be broadcast on the DAZN platform, which collaborates with the former champion.
