Supermiddle Vincent Feigenbutz (20-1, 19) headline a show at home October 17 at home in Karlsruhe. Opponent is Italian Giovanni De Carolis (23-5). De Carolis lost a wide decision to Arthur Abraham on his last visit to Germany but have since won three straight.
 
Feigenbutz (pictured) holds the WBA interim title but this fight is not announced as a titlefight.
 
On the undercard 17-year old Leon Bauer (3-0, 3) take on Aleksander Jankovic (10-36).
 
The show is promoted by Sauerland Event.
 
****************************
 
EBU heavyweight champion Erkan Teper (15-0) will defend the title December 19 at the Hartwall Arena in Helsinki (Finland) against the Nordic Nightmare, Robert Helenius (21-0). The fight is promoted by Loud ´n` Live Promotions. At stake is also Teper´s IBF I/C title.
 
This is a voluntary defence by Teper and mandatory challenger is Dereck Chisora so should Helenius win over Teper he´s back to where all the troubles started late 2011. He beat Chisora on a close, controversial decision and suffered serious hand- and shoulder injuries that also led to a contractual dispute with Sauerland Event.
 
Teper, promoted by Z! Promotions, knocked out David Price in July to win the then vacant title.
 
****************************
 
Italian OPI 2000 have signed a promotional deal with supermiddle Hadillah Mohoumadi (19-3-1) and heavyweight Carlos Takam (32-2-1).
 
Mohoumadi holds the EBU title and will make a voluntary defence November 6 against Mouhamed Ali Ndiaye with OPI 2000 promoting.
 
The 34-year old Takam have been carefully matched over the years but entered the scene in 2014 with a win over Tony Thompson, a draw with Mike Perez and a loss to Alexander Povetkin as a result. Last time out he knocked out Michael Sprott.
