Faust is managed by former former WBA jr welter champ Andreas Kotelnik. Also involved in getting Faust to Hamburg is Peter Hanraths, who back in the day was responsible for some of Universum´s best signings.
Faust will now be training in Hamburg under Bulent Baser. When Viktor will make his pro debut isn´t clear yet.

Former IBO light heavyweight ruler Sven Fornling will not only drop down to super middleweight, he´s also made an amicable split with EC Boxing. What will happen next is still not clear.
Fornling beat stablemate Karo Murat in a big upset in late 2018 and then lost the title almost a year later to Dominic Boesel in what was a very tough fight for the Swede and some like his now former promoter feel it´s time to retire but Sven wants to give it another go.
