His next fight to be announced this week.
Any idea of an opponent?
I would love it to be Gilberto Ramirez for the WBO but I doubt that's happening.

Relax Fitzy, my frustration was not aimed at you but the recent trend for promoters to feel the need to make tweets etc without actually saying anything, especially announcing that some announcement will be made some time in the future

I imagine it'll be some sort of WBA fight so Sturm is a good shout.

Joke that Sturm even has a title considering the laughable decision he got to win it and his drug test failure; he's obviously enjoyed very good relations with the main sanctionong bodies.
If it is Sturm I hope Groves kicks his ass.

No chance it's Sturm as Grives would absolutely paste him.
Also he is in hiding in Bosnia due to a sports doping investigation.
De Carolis or Chudinov maybe ?

I like it when they announce an announcement in plenty of time so I can get excited. I hate it when an announcement sneaks up unannounced. Who else is going to buy the PPV for the announcement?

Can't see it being Ramirez, too dangerous a propsition.
With Abraham and Braemer now without titles, the Saurlands will want George to pick up the easiest belt in the quickest possible fashion, so it will likely be De Carolis.

He already has a fight lined up next month though?

Knowledge? Us? A dangerous assumption.

Ah, I forgot about the Zeuge rematch. In that case it will likely be Sturm, I'm guessing since he hasn't yet been stripped they will probably allow him to defend his belt (rightly or wrongly) .

Now that would be an interesting fight, it won't happen but it would be a tactical battle I reckon that one.

Can't wait for his comments when things don't start to run as smoothly as he'd like.
