WBO supermiddle champ Robert Stieglitz defends the title January 9 in Magdeburg. Opponent is not announced but Colombian website boxeocolombiano.org writes that it could be no other than Edison Miranda, famous in Germany after his two showdowns against Arthur Abraham, in the other corner. Miranda is now with Goossen Tutor. There have been no comments from SES who promotes the show in Magdeburg nor from Goossen Tutor. SES stage a press conference tomorrow but if it will be revealed there who Stieglitz will fight remains to be seen.
First Robert Helenius was forced to pull out of a planned fight against ex-WBO heavy king Lamon Brewster December 5 in Ludwigsburg. Helenius was replaced by Francesco Pianeta but now Brewster is off the bill and his place is taken by big Russian Evgeny Orlov.
