Sven Ottke

According to the reports of the German world champion, Sven Ottke, is in the hospital after hitting the car while riding a bike in Majorca, according to reports of German Bild.

The 58-year-old, who reigned as the IBF world champion and WBA Super-Middle in weight, was reportedly hit by a driver while cycling on a Spanish island, where he is the owner of the residence and often trains to maintain fitness.

Ottke, a well -known bicycle enthusiast and Golf, enjoyed the holidays just a few days earlier.

Phantom’s Porseal: Ottke’s Cauries and Emergency Operation

It is said that “Phantom”, Ottke suffered a double fracture of the tibia and shoulder injury in this incident. On Tuesday, he underwent an emergency surgery, where the doctors put the screws for their shaving.

Fortunately, his shoulder damage was less stern, and in treatment it would heal without surgery, medical staff confirmed.

Last week, former coach Ulla Wegner contacted Ottke at the local holiday club. Wegner, who remains close to the former champion, offered a cordial update:

“Sven Ottke is doing well in these circumstances. I will visit him in the clinic on Wednesday. He was simply traveled.”

34-0 Career

Ottke withdrew in 2004 with an excellent 34-0 record and 21 defense of the world title.

He captured the IBF belt in 1998, later uniting the title of WBA in 2003, and remains one of four European boxers in history who retire as an invincible world champion.

His methodical style and ring IQ made him a basic boxing calendar in the Golden Era.

WBN will continue to monitor history and wishes German a great full and quick recovery.

Paulie Malignaggis Insightful Verdict on Manny Pacquiao vs Shakur Stevenson Fight

Paulie Malignaggi's Insightful Verdict on Manny Pacquiao vs Shakur Stevenson Fight

Paulie Malignaggi has offered his reaction to a reported clash between Shakur Stevenson and Manny Pacquiaowhich could feature on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua.

The all-British heavyweight showdown is expected to take place on December 11, headlining an event at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.

That is, of course, if Fury and Joshua actually make it to the ring, as despite it being announced earlier this week, The Ring’s Mike Coppinger has since reported that their fight is in jeopardy.

Prior to that, it had emerged that an encounter between Stevenson and Pacquiao – between whom there is a near two-decade age gap – was being planned for the same night in Wales.

Should it come to fruition, this would represent Stevenson’s first outing since signing with Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing, who he joined after dethroning Teofimo Lopez with a unanimous decision victory in January.

Pacquiao, meanwhile, has not fought since his draw with Mario Barrios in July 2025, when he ended a near four-year layoff and almost claimed the WBC welterweight title.

Yet despite that surprisingly impressive performance, former world champion Malignaggi has emphasised on his YouTube channel that, against Stevenson, the 47-year-old would be facing an entirely different competitor.

“Manny Pacquiao-Shakur Stevenson has no place on this card; [it] has no place in big-time boxing. I am completely befuddled.

“[I’m] disappointed in Stevenson; [I’m] disappointed in Zuffa, obviously. These are ‘click bait’ type of fights. These are names that draw attention, so you can get people to watch. Then the fight’s a dud and all these casuals sit there complaining about boxing, telling you why boxing’s dead.”

Malignaggi went on to credit Pacquiao with being “competitive against the worst world champion I’ve ever seen in my life”, emphasising a considerable difference between Barrios and Stevenson.
