Berlin to Host Major Fight
Berlin - Max Schmeling will defend his EBU title this weekend against leading challenger Andre Lenglet of France. The 15-round bout will be staged in this city at the Poststadion arena, headlining a card featuring world-class European and British fighters, including Walter Neusel and Jack Peterson. Schmeling has been in seclusion at his mountain-side training camp for some weeks now, and scouting reports say he is in great form and likely will enter the ring at about 13 stone or 187 pounds. Betting favours the German, but Lenglet's backers are being cagey, waiting for better odds.
