Undefeated Russian new prospect Alexander Ustinov (14-0-0) became last thursday Feb. 26th the new European 'EBA' Heavyweight Champion after beating by TKO on the 5th round to previously undefeated Ukrainian star Maksym Pedyura (11-1-0). Ustinov weighed at the official scale 139 kgrs. (2,02 m.) and Pedyura 109 kgrs. (1,89 m.)
Ustinov dominated the first two round with his extra-long reach, specially straight lefts, although on 3rd round Pedyura approached him with close shots and body punches. The forth round was quite leveled with punches both sides maybe slightly leaded by the Russian and in 5th round Ustinov connected a extremelly hard combination of right and left hooks to Pedyura's head which caused him a breakage on his nose. After the stoppage and consulting with the ring doctor, and as Pedyura's nose would not stop bleeding, Dutch referee Lahcen Oumghar called it off and declared Ustinov the new European 'EBA' Heavyweight Champion by TKO on 5th round (1:56 min.)
