***Sylvester to face Proksa for vacant European Middleweight Title on October 1***
Sebastian Sylvester (34-4-1, 16 KOs) will return to the ring on October 1 when he faces
unbeaten Grzegorz Proksa (25-0, 18 KOs) for the vacant European Middleweight Title. The
fight will take place at the Jahnsportforum in Neubrandenburg. It will be the Hurricane´s
first bout since losing his IBF Middleweight Title to Daniel Geale in May. “I am really
looking forward to this clash,” Sylvester said. “The initial plan was to participate in
an elimination tournament for another world title shot but then I got the chance to fight
for the vacant European itle. This is a great opportunity and I will make the most of it.
However, it´s a risky fight to take. It´s all or nothing. If I lose, it will be a long
way back to the top. But I am very confident of success.”
Coach Karsten Roewer expects a tough battle. “Proksa is very aggressive and makes a lot
of pressure. And he is a southpaw. It will be a tough fight. But if Sebastian does his
homework, he will be successful.”
