Former WBO middleweight world champion Felix Sturm is set to return to the ring in March against an opponent yet to be determined at the Wilhelm-Dopatka-Halle, Leverkusen, Küppersteg in his native Germany.

We will keep you updated as to the opponent situation for Sturm to see if he can begin to capitalize on the level of fame he achieved from that notorious decision loss to De La Hoya last year.
