Super middleweight world titlist Fedor Chudinov and Felix Sturm, a four-time middleweight titleholder, are set to meet in a rematch scheduled for Feb. 20 at Koenig Pilsener Arena in Oberhausen, Germany, Sturm Box-Promotion has announced.

Chudinov (14-0, 10 KOs), of Russia, won a split decision against Sturm (39-5-3, 18 KOs), of Germany, to claim a vacant world title on May 9 in Frankfurt, Germany.

Although Sturm, 36, has not boxed since the loss, Chudinov, 28, who will be making his second defense, traveled to England and retained the 168-pound belt by lopsided unanimous decision against Frank Buglioni on Sept. 26 at Wembley Arena in London.

Chudinov and Sturm were initially slated to meet in the rematch on Dec. 5 in Germany, but the bout was moved into early 2016.

The first Chudinov-Sturm bout was competitive with bursts of excitement, but Chudinov got the nod on Sturm's home turf. Chudinov dominated the final few rounds of the fight against a tiring Sturm, who did not quarrel with the decision as he dropped to 0-2-1 in his past three bouts, including a split draw with countryman and former super middleweight titlist Robert Stieglitz and a decision loss that cost him a middleweight title against Australia's Sam Soliman.

Sturm vowed to win a fifth world title against Chudinov.

"It was close but I lost," Sturm said. "I have the means and the power to defeat Chudinov. The only thing that counts for me is victory. I made a lot of mistakes in the first fight. I could only show 20 percent of myself, but this time I'm ready. All or nothing, I'll prove I'm still one of the best in the world."

Said Chudinov, "The title stays with me."
