Vitali Retains Heavyweight Title

Vitali Klitschko won his 40th career fight, retaining his WBC world title against Albert Sosnowski in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.

The Ukrainian stopped the his Polish opponent in a tenth round stoppage and set his sights on his next fight, possibly against either David Haye or Ruslan Chagaev.

Sosnowski held out well for nine rounds until Klitschko closed out the fight in his unspectacular, business like way.

Klitschko improved to 40-2 (38ko), whilst Sosnowski dropped to 45-3 (27ko).

Victory for Chagaev

Ruslan Chagaev improved to 26-1-1 (17ko) after beating Australian Kali Meehan (35-4 29ko) unanimously on points in Germany.

The heavyweight was scored 118-110, 117-111 and 117-112 by the three judges.

Chagaev could be next in line for a shot against David Haye for his WBA Heavyweight title, if the Londoner cannot secure a fight with one of the Klitschko brothers.

The Uzbek once held the the title in 2007 beating Valuev after his first stint with the belt but was stripped of the title after failing to meet the deadline for a fight against the mandatry challenger, due to an injury.
