Two WBA Boxing Titles On The Line In Germany

Tonight at the Color Line Arena in Hamburg, Germany, Felix Sturm and Wladimir Sidorenko put their WBA titles at risk against challengers Javier Castillejo and Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym, respectively. Sturm, 25-1 (11), puts his middleweight belt on the line for the first time since winning it against Maselino Masoe in March and will square off with the very experienced former WBC Light Middleweight Champion Javier Castillejo, 60-6 (40).

Sidorenko, 18-0-1 (6), will put his bantamweight crown in jeopardy for the third time and meets the WBA’s interim titlist Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym, 24-0 (15). The last time Sidorenko was in action, he drew with Ricardo Cordoba back in March and may have his hands full with Kratingdaenggym who will be fighting outside his native Thailand for the first time.
