Newly crowned IBF cruiserweight champion O'Neil "Supernova" Bell will make the first defense of the title he won, albeit controversially in a vacant title fight with Canada's Dale Brown earlier this year. On August 26, Bell will headline the card held at the Hard Rock Live Arena in Hollywood, Florida when he faces former IBO cruiserweight champion Sebastian Rothmann. This fight pits two exciting punchers against one another as Rothmann can certainly dish out the shots with authority, having knocked out twelve of eighteen opponents while Bell has stopped twenty-two fighter in twenty-four victories.
