Norwegian light heavy Tim-Robin Lihaug (20-4) won the vacant WBFed title last night in Bergen (Norway) with a unanimous decision over Vartan Avetisyan (18-3-1). It was scored 116-112 and 117-111 twice in favour of Lihaug after what is described as a tough, relatively even fight.

In the chief support cruiserweight Simen Nysaether moved to 10-0 with a win over Petar Mrvalj (9-14). The Croatian was down in the second and lost on scores of 60-53 on all cards. At super midle Anders Eggan (7-0) beat Michal Gladzik (6-9) in another six-roudner.

Former heavyweight contender Artur Szpilka (24-4) made his debut at cruiserweight last night in Lomza (Poland) and it was a problematic debut to put it mildly.

Szpilka was down in the third and fifth but still won a majority decision over the unsung UkrainanSergeyRadchenko (7-6). It was scored 95-93, 95-92 and 94-94 and reports from the fight indicate that a robbery took place.

In other action new Polish stars Fedor Czerkaszyn (16-0) and Pawel Stepien (13-0-1) again impressed. Czerkazyn  stopped the always tough Patrick Mendy (18-16-3) in the seventh and Stepien outscored veteran Geard Ajetovic (31-24-2) over eight.
