This will be De Caroli's fourth straight fight in Germany where he first lost a controversial decision to Vincent Feigenbutz, then stopped Feigenbutz in a rematch and drew with Zeuge.

Zeuge is trained by WBA regular lightheavy champ Juergen Braehmer and Konny Mittermeier. Braehmer defends the title against Nathan Cleverly October 1 with Mittermeier as trainer so there will be many hours in the gym for the two.

In regards of Feigenbutz (23-2) his fight against Mike Keta (20-3) that was set for Karlsruhe September 23 is postponed and will no go ahead December 3.
