Also on the card is the return of Abraham, who denied De Carolis the WBO crown in October 2013 before handing it over to US-based Mexican sensation Gilberto Ramirez back in April. At the age of 36, Abraham is determined to climb the mountain once more and faces Norway's Tim Robin Lihaug.
De Carolis said in an interview “I'm looking forward to fighting in Germany again. This is where I won my world title and where, three years ago, I fought Arthur Abraham. He is one of the best fighters of our generation, and although I lost that fight, I learnt a lot. It gave me the belief that I could compete at the highest level, and without this experience, I would not be a champion today. Of course, I would like a rematch with Abraham. He gave me the chance to measure myself against him and I would love to avenge my defeat, but for now, all my focus is on Zeuge and defending my title on Saturday night. Tyron Zeuge is a talented young fighter. He is fast, he has good footwork and is technically very skilled, but he has been protected so far in his career. He has fought some good opponents but most have been tailor made to suit his style. I believe this will be his first real test, and we will find out how good he really is. My experience will of course play an important part, but it is not everything. Take for example my physique; I am now much physically stronger and more robust than I was when I was as a 24 year old. If I was to fight myself from eight years ago today, I would win easily, and I believe that will be the case on Saturday night.”
