In the co-feature German (BDB version) middleweight champ Bjoern Schicke (15-0) defends the title against Ronny Mittag (30-4-3).

Belgian heavyweight Herve Hubeaux (31-3) have pulled out of the position as mandatory challenger for the EU title. He´s now trained by Hector Bermudez and promoter Alain Vanackare says they´ve decided on six months of hard work before going after bigger fights.

The 27-year old Hubeaux won the national title as a teenager but has lost to the likes of Agit Kabayel and Oscar Rivas in his biggest fights to date.
