Wisse, who's only suffered one solitary loss in his entire professional career, has established himself as both the world's best Middleweight and a pound-for-pound talent on an eight-fight win streak over the course of the past four years, with victories over the likes of Serkan Ozcaglayan, César Almeida and Yousri Belgaroui. Boapeah, who's amassed a 4-1 record with Europe's leading promotion, rebounded from a loss to Sergej Braun in October with three wins over contenders who were at one point or another featured in our divisional rankings.

As previously reported, a Lightweight bout between one-time title challenger Stoyan Koprivlenski and the once-defeated Sorin Căliniuc will likewise take place at the event.
