Gualtieri Cancels WBO European Title Defense in Berlin

Organizers say the September 12 card will proceed with other scheduled bouts despite the withdrawal.

Overview

  • Promoter Agon-Boxstall announced that Gualtieri’s training-related foot injury makes a September 12 return impossible.
  • In his official statement, the 32-year-old said he was “incredibly disappointed” after anticipating the fight against Ramadan Hiseni.
  • Swiss challenger Ramadan Hiseni is now without an opponent following the cancellation.
  • No substitute has been named to fill Gualtieri’s slot, leaving the fight lineup in flux.
  • The Berlin card will still include undercard bouts featuring Hamsat Shadalov and Paul Wall in a German title contest.
