Overview

• Amateur Daniel Bertz stopped Hasan Arli in the fourth round by technical knockout at the Deutsches Bratwurstmuseum in Mühlhausen.
• Roughly 300 attendees watched the five-round bout scheduled as part of the Bratwurstiade, with beer, music and plenty of sausages.
• Post-fight, organizers said Nuremberg retains recognition for the oldest bratwurst kitchen, while Thuringia may claim the earliest documented mention from 1404.
• The spectacle followed Erfurt researchers publicizing a 1269 charter that mentions a hut and a "bräter" near the Krämerbrücke, a reference historians still debate.
• The idea came from Nuremberg restaurateur Sofia Hilleprandt, who challenged museum director Thomas Mäuer to settle the rivalry with surrogate fighters.
