EU heavyweight champ [Richard Towers], will defend the title against Frenchman [Johann Duhaupas], early October in Abbeville, France.

 

Towers, 13-0, won the title in June of last year stopping Gregory Tony in nine but not without some problems and have been inactive since but have a fight lined up in July in Australia against Lucas Browne.

 

Duhaupas, 29-1, won the national title last weekend and have over the years held other titles as well but the sole loss on his record - to Francesco Pianeta - is the only fight Johann have had against a name opponent.
