The super-middleweight rematch from Germany between Arthur Abraham and Robert Stieglitz headlines this weekend's action. Robert Helenius takes on British veteran Michael Sprott on the undercard of the show. Another rematch, this one the third meeting between Jeffrey Mathebula and Takalani Ndlovu rounds out Saturday's match-ups.
There's plenty of fights on Friday too, with a doubleheader from Montreal on WealthTV. Continuing on the rematch theme, Adonis Stevenson will be looking to draw even with his former conqueror Darnell Boone in the 10-round main-event. The undercard features undefeated 175lber Eleider Alvarez taking on Nicholson Poulard.
Also on Friday, Odlanier Solis will look to get back in the heavyweight title picture when he goes up against undefeated Norwegian big man Leif Larsen. ESPN2's FNF main-event round's out the day's action, with Donovan George taking on David Lopez in a 10-rounder.
