MORE than 2,000 spectators and 150 journalists
congregated at the steps of Cologne's Cathedral
on July 22 when promoters Wilfried Sauerland
and Klaus-Peter Kohl, for so long great rivals, held
a joint Press conference to announce the
September 25 vacant European heavyweight title
bout between Axel Schulz and Vladimir
Klitschko.
Our correspondent Jack Tree was there and
tells me RTL, who will televise the event, expect
about eight million viewers. The Cologne Arena is
set up for 18,000 spectators.
Both boxers are expected to earn in the region
of 2.5m DM (£800,000 approx), fantastic money
for such a fight, and the promotion will be run at a
cost of around 20m DM. Hardly surprising Schulz
opted to box Klitschko rather than Mike Tyson.

JAILED heavyweight Ike Ibeabuchi, accused
by a call-girl of sexual assault, caused a
commotion in a courtroom last week when the
prosecution demanded bail be set at $5m.
Unbeaten contender Ibeabuchi had to be
removed from the court after blowing his top
and was scheduled to appear there again today
(August 6) for arraignment.

His detractors can keep
telling him he quit
.against Darroll Wilson
and can insist until they're in
blue in the face he was gifted a
decision over George Foreman
by three blind mice in Atlantic
City, but the hype machine
which guides Shannon Briggs'
career knows only one speed -
overdrive.

MEXICAN banger MARCO ANTONIO
BARRERA, last seen destroying Paul
Lloyd in one round at the Albert Hall in
April, defends his WBO super-bantamweight
title against Argentine PASTOR "BAD COW"
MAURIN on the Briggs-Botha undercard.

DIEGO MORALES, Erik's
handsome 19-year-old
brother, made his first
defence of the WBO superflyweight
crown when stocky,
shopworn YSAIAS ZAMUDIO
was pulled out after eight
rounds with cuts above both
eyes.
