Facing a second term in prison
Florian Marku, the welterweight boxing champion, has been reportedly arrested in Germany and faces a second term in jail for wounding and illegal possession of a weapon.
Background and charges
The 32-year-old athlete was arrested for an incident that occurred seven years ago in Thessaloniki, Greece, where he is accused of wounding and illegal possession of a weapon.
Legal proceedings and potential sentence
Marku was previously convicted and jailed for one-and-a-half years but the case has been appealed. Under Greek law changes, he may have to serve up to five more years in jail, but his family believes it could be as short as six months.

Impact on boxing career
The arrest has raised concerns about Marku's future in boxing, casting doubt on his upcoming matches and titles.
