Germany vs. England: Fame Fighting International Set to Ignite Leverkusen
Leverkusen is preparing for a high-stakes collision of celebrity boxing as Fame Fighting International takes over the Ostermann-Arena on June 6. This landmark event marks the first international expansion for Fame Fighting, framing the evening as a sporting “Länderduell” (national duel) between Germany and England.
The spectacle is a strategic collaboration between the German organizers, the British boxing promotion Misfits and media giants BILD and The Sun. The goal is simple: determine how German celebrity fighters measure up against their international counterparts in a series of high-energy bouts.
The Battle of the Brands: Fame Fighting Meets Misfits
This event isn’t just about individual fights; it’s a clash of boxing cultures. By partnering with Misfits, a powerhouse in the UK celebrity boxing scene, Fame Fighting is elevating the stakes for its athletes. The card features eight German Fame Fighters facing off against eight international celebrity boxers from the Misfits stable.
Eugen Lopez, the founder of Fame Fighting, views the partnership as a necessary evolution for the sport. He acknowledges the challenge facing the German side, noting the experience gap between the two nations.
“With this international cross-over and a brand as large as Misfits, we will create a completely different appeal. We must now support our German fighters and cheer them on. This is a national duel between Germany and England. We can win this match, even if the English have more experience and we are clearly the sporting underdogs. But I love that.”
Confirmed Matchups: The Heavy Hitters
While the full card is still being finalized, several marquee matchups have already been announced. The fights span multiple weight classes, promising a variety of styles and intensities:
- Super Heavyweight: Aleks Petrovic (35) vs. Chase DeMoor (29)

- Super Middleweight: Can Kaplan (28) vs. Slim Albaher (31)
