There are a few good shows on the continent tonight, with the bill at Burg-Waechter Castello in Dusseldorf, Germany taking centre stage.
The card is headlined by a European Union Heavyweight title battle between Germany based Italian southpaw Francesco Pianeta, 18-0 (11), and England based Pole, Albert Sosnowski, 44-2 (27).
Pianeta has been on a good winning streak over the last year, putting the first loss on American prospect Mike Marrone's record for the WBC Youth title before winning the EU crown when Welshman Scott Gammer injured a hand in the eighth frame.
The 24 year old Gelsenkirschen resident spoiled another perfect record while retaining his belt by decisioning Johann Duhaupas in December. More...

WBO Welterweight Champion Paul Williams stepped up to light middle and caged the vacant WBO belt by stopping former three time 154 pound world titlist Verno Phillips in the eighth round at Citizens Bank Arena in Ontario, CA in the highest profile bout in America this weekend.
Williams overcame a bad cut from a headclash early on and used his massive height and reach advantage to good effect, keeping the much older Phillips at bay with hard shots to the body and head.
It was the constant body shots which seemed to take their toll on the former champion as he began to slow down later in the bout but Phillips also didn't have the power to trouble his far taller opponent despite not having much difficulty in hitting Williams when he did throw punches.
By the eighth round, Phillips was getting hurt and the bout was called to a halt before the ninth frame could begin to keep the 39 year old from further damage.
Williams wins the WBO Light Middle title, improving to 36-1 (27), while Phillips drops to 42-11-1 (21) after a brave performance in what could be the last big fight of his long career. More...

After taking almost the entire month of August off, the sport of boxing got back into full swing this weekend and there some decent shows to report upon.
Former WBO Heavyweight Champion Lamon Brewster returned to the ring for the first time in more than a year as the 35 year old slugger knocked out New York based veteran Danny Batchedler in the fifth round at The Gardens in Cincinnati, OH last night to take the NABA title.
Brewster, 34-4 (30), proved just too big and quick for Batchelder and wins for the first time in three years after dropping consecutive losses to Serguei Lyakhovich and Wladimir Klitschko in world title bouts.
31 year old Batchelder, who has come up in weight during his career from super middle, drops to 25-6-1 (12), losing his third bout in a row.
Also on Saturday, middleweight Anthony Greenidge, 12-1-1 (5), won a hard fought eight rounder over Louis Turner by majority decision at the Holiday Inn Select in Atlanta, GA.
Lightweight Tyrese Hendrix, 14-0-1 (6), posted a six round unanimous decision over veteran Luis Bolano, 41-11 (31), on the undercard.
There was action on Friday as well, with former welterweight contender Antonio Diaz, 44-5-1 (29), continuing his comeback with an eighth round points win against Juan Pablo Montes de Oca, 9-15-2, at Omega Products International in Corona, CA. More...
