WBA middleweight champion Felix Sturm is expecting to win his promotional battle with Universum and make his ring return in the fall. Sturm has been inactive since last July. The WBA made him the "super champion" at the weight, which doesn't bother him. He wants to take on the best fighters at the weight.
"My contract with Universum ended on November 16, 2009. I think in six to eight weeks, the dispute will be decided in my favor," Sturm said to Greesha Milova . "I want to fight the best and unify the titles. Of course the number one guy is Kelly Pavlik, who has the titles of WBO and WBC. I will return to the ring after the World Cup, I think in September or October."
Universum is not going out without a fight. They claim Sturm is under contract until 2012. Sturm on the other hand is still considering a possible working relationship with trainer Freddie Roach.
