Hamburg (dpa / lno) - The Hamburg Universum boxing stable will present a heavyweight World Cup contender in its gym on Saturday.

Co-boxer Schan Kossobutski receives the 2.01 meter tall Nigerian Onoriode Ehwarieme.

The 32-year-old Kazakh Kossobutski has won all of his 14 professional fights, 13 of them by knockout. His opponent has 18 wins, 17 of them by knockout. It's about the international WBA title.

Whoever wins it comes into the top 15 of the ranking and can hope for a world championship fight.

«Schan is absolutely world class.

He is feared by all top heavyweight boxers, ”said Universum boss Ismail Özen-Otto.

Successful boxers like Alexander Powetkin, Filip Hrgovic and Olympic champion Toni Yoka are said to have refused fights with the Kazakhs.

Özen-Otto would like to arrange a world championship fight for his husband as soon as possible.

Spectators are not allowed to go to the gym because of the corona regulations.

The event will be broadcast by bild.de (7.30 p.m.).
