It´s official: Wladimir Klitschko defends the IBF, WBO and IBO titles against official (IBF) challenger Alexander Povetkin September 11 at the Commerzbank Arena in Frankfurt / Main. Styles makes fights and this is an intruiging matchup with the agressive style of Povetkin vs the careful, patient boxing from the champion. In my eyes speed will win it and Klitschko got big advantages in size and reach as well. Both men hold wins over Eddie Chambers - with Wladimir winning easily while Povetkin had to fight hard to nick it down the stretch.

- Middleweights Gennadyi Golovkin, WBA # 2, and Milton Nunez, WBA # 15, will clash for the WBA title sometime in July or August in Mexico or USA. Behind this is a long story beginning when Golovkin was named mandatory challenger for Felix Sturm, who - strangely, inactive as he is - became superchamp. Golovkin was then to face Anthony Mundine, who withdrew after purse bids had been held. Gennadyi then got Frenchman Hassan N´Dam J´kam as co-challenger but negotiations fell through - and in comes Nunez. If Golovkin is a free agent or still tied to Universum is also an open question.

Universum have given all employees notice that their employment could be over come July 31. This does not affect the boxers under contract or the trainers - all of whom are employed on a freelance basis. The main reason for Universum´s problems is that longterm TV partner ZDF needs to cut down on its costs and as a result boxing goes out. Universum have reportedly had lengthy negotiations with other networks but no deal have been announced. As it is now the company will continue to operate after July 31 as well but on a lesser scale and mainly with managing fighters. (more)
