Italian former Olympic heavyweight Paolo Vidoz is currently celebrating a great win for him over Germany's Timo Hoffmann. Vidoz's career looked to be heading off in the wrong direction recently with losses coming in close proximity, but make no mistake, this is a fine result for him as he takes a split decision victory over hometown favorite Hoffmann. In other action, Turkish born and Germany based heavyweight Sinan Samil Sam defeated unheralded Peter Okhello via the decision route.

Stay tuned for more results from all of tonight's big fights coming as they happen.
