WBA middleweight champion Felix Sturm (36-2-2, 15KOs), sporting a black eye from training camp, went face to face with the former WBC champion Sebastian Zbik (30-1, 10KOs) at the final press conference. The former stablemates will collide on Friday night at the Lanxess Arena in Cologne, Germany. The one-time friends, when they were both promoted under Universum, are now promising to punish each other in a few days.
