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.
