Saturday's postponed Sauerland Event show in Neubrandenburg, Germany will be rescheduled as soon as possible. "We have to wait and see how quickly Sebastian recovers and then speak to the IBF to set a new date,"Â said Team Sauerland General Manager Chris Meyer. "We are trying to sort this out as soon as we can."Â
Team Sauerland was forced to call off Saturday's world title twinbill after IBF middleweight champion Sebastian Sylvester caught a virus infection. The 30-year-old was slated to face Mehdi Bouadla in his fourth defense, with IBF cruiserweight champion Steve Cunningham taking on mandatory challenger Enad Licina in the co-feature. "I am very disappointed,"Â Sylvester said. "All of a sudden I felt sick and exhausted. I went straight to the doctor who told me that I could not fight on Saturday. That is a major disappointment for me as I was really looking forward to fighting in front of my home fans in Neubrandenburg."Â
