Sturm returns for first time since 2016

German promoter Universum announced the comeback of former two-division title holder Felix Sturm (pictured) on December 19th. The 41 year-old German has not fought in over four and a half years, a stretch that included prison time for tax evasion. His opponent for the comeback is an acceptable one-- Timo Rost, an undefeated but untested 10-0-2 fellow German. Rost has two fights in 2020- a drwa vs. Gino Kanters (8-3-2) and a win over Davit Makaradze (20-14-1).
