Heavyweight Denis Boytsov (34-1, 26 KOs) of Russia will return to action on December 6th in Oldenburg, where the boxer will take on 40-year-old Brazilian veteran George Arias (55-11, 41 KOs). Boytsov was upset last November when he dropped a ten round decision to Alex Leapai, and then bounced back in August when he defeated Timur Musafarov.

The show will feature a championship doubleheader. Juergen Braehmer will defend his WBA 'regular' light heavyweight title against Pawel Glazewski, and IBF cruiserweight champ Yoan Pablo Hernandez will go against mandatory challenger Ola Afolabi.
