Former WBA, WBO and EBU light heavyweight champion Juergen Braehmer, 44 and 52-3-1, according to BILD, is considering a comeback.
Braehmer last fought in December of 2019 but has remained active in professional boxing as a coach for the likes of Robin Krasniqi and Tyron Zeuge. Opponent in the comeback – if it comes off – is former IBO and WBA interim title holder Dominic Boesel (32-4), who was stopped by Gilberto Ramirez last year and hasn’t fought since.
