Hernandez to defend IBF title against Afolabi
Boxing fans can look forward to a doubleheader of world championship action on December 6 at the EWE Arena in Oldenburg, Germany. In addition to Juergen Braehmer’s scheduled WBA World Light Heavyweight title defence against Pawel Glazewski, Cuban cruiserweight king Yoan Pablo Hernandez (29-1, 14 KOs) will co-headline with a mandatory defense of his IBF World title against Ola Afolabi (21-3-4, 10 KOs). The card will be Team Sauerland’s last with their current ARD television deal. “Team Sauerland stands for first-class boxing entertainment,” said Frederick Ness, Managing Director of Sauerland Event. “This is something we wanted to emphasise by bringing fans two world championship fights on December 6.”
