Aarhus, Denmark - EBU featherweight champion Dennis Ceylan (18-0-2, 8 KOs) retained the title on a technical draw against British challenger Isaac Lowe (13-0-2, 5 KOs). Ceylan and Lowe clashed heads in the fourth and the Dane was unable to continue and it was in accordance with the rules called a technical draw.
Ceylan started very well with Lowe coming on in the third and fourth but it was still Ceylan in control and then the heads clashed - and it was over.
At the time of the stoppage, Ceylan was ahead on the cards 30-27, 30-27 and 29-28.
Female super bantamweight Dina Thorslund (9-0) knocked out Gabriella Miszei (8-8-2) in the very first round with the first punch she threw to win the vacant EBU title. How Miszei was approved as challenger is an open question.
Super welterweight Mikkel Nielsen (3-0) took apart Flavio Turelli (11-13-2) for a stoppage win in the sixth and final round. Turelli was under pressure in many rounds and finally went down in the final round and it was stopped.
Frederic Hede Jensen made his professional debut and floored Hungarian Tibor Nadori (9-8-1) once in the first and twice in the second before it was stopped.
Heavyweights Erzen Rrustemi (12-0) and Ricardo Humberto Ramirez opened Sauerland Promotion´s show at the Ceres Arena in a fight with the vacant WBFed title at stake. Rrustemi won on a second round knockout with Ramirez floored twice.
