Sauerland Event promotes a small, off TV show in Helle Mitte in Berlin as part of a local festival headlined by welter Frank Shabani and cruiser Enad Licina.

Italian heavy Paolo Vidoz has relinquished his position as co-challenger for the vacant European Union title. Previously Michael Sprott did the same thing. The prospect of facing still tricky veteran Henry Akinwande for a relatively small compensation is apparently not very tempting.

Newly crowned European Union champ Eugen Sorin Tasanie is co-challenger along with Belgian Carmelo Ballone for the vacant European Bantam title.

International German welter ruler Jan Zaveck defends the title against Estonian Albert Starikov October 13 in Magdeburg on an SES promotion headed by Robert Stieglitz and Ramona Kuehne.

Finn Amin Asikainen now have Italian Domenico Spada as co-challenger for the vacant European Union middleweight. Spada fight Alpaslan Aguzum for the WBC International October 19. Asikainen is also European # 1 challenger and could be moved into a mandatory spot should current official challenger Javier Castillejo beat Mariano Carrera on November 13.

Dutch middle Raymond Joval has his first at home since 2003 when he face experienced Frenchman Alban Mothie October 8 in Amsterdam. Don Diego Poeder, knocked out last time out, will have another go and take on Ukrainian Yaroslav Zarovotny in a heavyweight fight.

Robert Osiobe could now be facing Rashid Ismaylov for the GBC featherweight title on October 27 in Copenhagen. Hungarian Adrian Rajkai is looking to win the vacant GBC heavyweight bauble when he face one Richel Taval, who claims 16 pro fights in South Africa.

Irishman John Duddy will now be facing Uruguay´s Noe Tulio Gonzales Alcoba on October 20 in Dublin, Alcoboa who went the distance with WBA title holder Felix Sturm this past summer.
