BERLIN — Germany's Zsolt Erdei has won the WBC cruiserweight world title belt with a majority decision to dethrone former champion Giacobbe Fragomeni.
Hungarian-born Erdei was awarded the fight 115-113, 115-113, 114-114 by the three judges after the fight went the full 12 rounds in front of 4,000 fans in Kiel on Saturday night.
The victory leaves Erdei, 35, with an unblemished record of 31 wins and 17 knock-outs.
This was 40-year-old Fragomeni's second defeat of his career having lost to new WBA heavyweight champion David Haye when the pair clashed at cruiserweight in November 2006.
The Italian has 26 wins on his record with 10 knock-outs and one draw.
