At the Gerry Weber Stadium in Halle, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany, Gbenga Oloukun (17-1, 10KOs) won a razor-clsoe eight round decision over former heavyweight champion Lamon Brewster (35-5, 30KOs). The scores were 77-75, 77-75 and 79-76. Brewster allowed himself to get outworked in the early rounds and then couldn't pull out the knockout punch when he sensed the fight was on the table and Oloukun was starting to tire.

Karo Murat (20-0, 12KOs) dominated Sergey Demchenko (13-3, 10KOs) to win the WBO Intercontinent light heavyweight title with a twelve round unanimous decision. The scores were 117-111, 117-111 and 120-108. Murat simply outboxed and outworked the bigger man, who gave him little trouble along the way.
