    Alexander Dimitrenko vs. Kubrat Pulev for the European heavyweight title had been scheduled for March 31.

    But I see it's no longer on the BoxRec schedule, although the Sauerland card is still on for March 31:

    Anybody know why the fight is off? Is one of them injured? I was eagerly looking forward to this fight, so I'm disappointed. :-(

    Nice one, hopefully Pulev steps in the ring with Boytsov instead and gets destroyed.

    But I wonder what happened? Did Dimitrenko pull out?

    Dimitrenko doesn't want to fight for Universum anymore. Some weeks ago, reports suggested it will most likely be Boytsov v Pulev for the EBU title now.

    Perhaps. But some Eastern European sites have been reporting Boytsov is fighting Dominick Guinn in April:

    Dimitrenko fainted during the contract signing.

    Fury is fighting Rogan on April 14.

    I still can't find any news reports that explain why the Pulev-Dimitrenko fight is off.

    Dimitrenko-Pulev is still on after all.

    It's just been moved to May 5th in Erfurt and will be on the same card as Gerber-Harris.
