Undefeated German heavy Edmund Gerber, 22-0, will again face British veteran Michael Sprott, 36-19, December 15 in Nueremberg on the undercard to Abraham vs Bouadla.
Gerber stopped Sprott in four their first time out in September in Bamberg but appeared to have problems with his tricky opponent and was also cut in a bad place. However, Sprott left himself open and Gerber nailed him with a good right and Michael went down on his back. He looked gone but got up, took a count, raised his hands … and then the fight was waved over. Sprott protested and even pushed referee Gerard Sigl and got a 90 day suspension. Gerber have since beaten Darnell Wilson on points but was badly shaken in the first and Sprott can depending how much it want it still test almost anyone.
