<description>Dmitri Sartison, 21-0, steps in for Jurgen Brahmer and fight Pablo Daniel Zamora Nieves tomorrow night in Halle an der Saale.

The show still shapes up interestingly with the European debut of Colombian puncher Santander Silgado, 11-0 (11) as a possible highlight on the undercard. EBU lightheavy champ Thomas Ulrich is the favourite against Yuri Barashian but the Ukrainian southpaw is in with a good chance against the sometimes erratic German.</description>
