De Carolis – Zeuge rematch set for November 5

WBA Super Middleweight champion Giovanni De Carolis will rematch Tyron Zeuge on November 5 in Potsdam, Germany, according to Dan Rafael of espn.com.

Their first bout ended in a draw.

“The first fight was a great advert for boxing,” promoter Kalle Sauerland said. “Tyron deserves a lot of credit for finishing the fight the way he did with an injury. He may have missed out on the belt, but that night, he proved to me that he has what it takes to win a world title. On Nov. 5, I believe we will have a new world champion.”

“I’m very happy that my promoter Team Sauerland has delivered me this rematch,” the 24-year-old Zeuge said. “It was a pity that I injured myself in first fight, and I believe this cost me the world title. However, this time, I will prove that injury free I am the better boxer, and I will be crowned world champion in Potsdam.”

“As a champion you must be ready for any challenge,” De Carolis, 32, said. “The first fight was close, but I felt I did enough to win. Initially, I had some problems with his speed and agility, but little by little, I was able to adjust and ended the fight in full control. On Nov. 5, I will continue where I left off and defend my world title.”
