Simon Zachenhuber

Technically sound southpaw with sharp footwork and timing

Prefers mid-range exchanges and body work

Has stopped 7 of his last 10 opponents, including a TKO win over Leonardo Di Stefano in June

Strengths: Ring IQ, composure, and adaptability

Weakness: Can be drawn into firefights when pressured

Paulinus Ndjolonimu

Explosive puncher with a high KO ratio

Known for early-round aggression and looping power shots

Weakness: Limited experience against top-tier international opponents

This is a classic matchup of youth vs. experience, precision vs. power, and southpaw vs. orthodox.
