Erdei pulls out of title defense at last minute

Undefeated heavyweight giant Alexander Dimitrenko defeated Andreas Sidon with a knockout one minute into the second round at Color Line Arena in Hamburg, Germany. The 22-year-old Dimitrenko, being marketed as the next great heavyweight out of the Ukraine, knocked down Sidon twice overall to improve his record to 19-0 with 12 knockouts. The 40-something year old Sidon dropped to 26-6 with 20 knockouts. The Dimitrenko bout replaced one involving WBO light heavyweight titlist Zsolt Erdei, who dropped out of a scheduled title defense at the last minute due to an illness, the flu. source: Universum website
