Former IBF middleweight champ Sebastian Sylvester (34-4-1) returns on October 1 in Neubrandenburg on a Sauerland promotion with a fight for the vacant EBU title against Polish opponent Grzegorz Proksa (25-0).

 

The two will battle it out in Sylvester´s "livingroom," the Jahnsport Forum, where Sebastian enjoys a big fan following. Proksa, promoted by Matchroom, has previously held the EU crown but never fought at the level that Sylvester has but while untested he´s also fresh and on the way up. The winner of this fight will have ex-WBC titleholder Sebastian Zbik as mandatory challenger. The EBU title was left vacant by Darren Barker.
