The Hungarian boxer Zsolt Erdei beat the Georgian Shalva Jomardashvili in a match for the WBO European Champion title in Kecskemét. The 39-year-old Erdei announced his retirement from competition after the match.
He will continue in the sport as a coach. Erdei is the former undefeated Lineal and WBO light-heavyweight champion, WBC cruiserweight champion and the first Hungarian to win a world title in two weight divisions.
Erdei boxed at the 2000 Summer Olympics, where he won a bronze medal in the middleweight division. He won 33 of his 34 professional fights.
His only defeat was last year at the hands of Russian Denis Grachev in a controversial split decision.
