Two-time super middleweight world champion Robert Stieglitz is back in intensive daily training to prepare for a clash against European light heavyweight champion Mehdi Amar The EBU (European Boxing Union) has named Stieglitz as the official mandatory challenger for the Frenchman. Negotiations are currently underway and the middle of July, the date and the venue of this European Championship will hopefully have been determined.Robert Stieglitz: “I absolutely want this fight, I’m already doing well in training and I want to bring the European light heavyweight title to Germany. I still lack the European championship belt in my collection! It fits right in with what’s currently happening in the sports world: the German team beats France, then also wins the final for the European championship. I follow with a win in my title shot and then I’m also European champion! By the way, my tip for Germany against France is a 2-1 victory for us.”
