[edit] Before his pro career

[edit] Pro

2004 he proved himself in sparring for promoter Sauerland and turned pro under Ulli Wegner. There he showed a crowdpleasing aggressive style, good stamina, power, a decent chin and a strong will to win but a volatile temper and an extremely dirty fighting style making him a controversial character. In the build-up he bested amateur stars Michael Simms and Claudio Rasco and had his first major fight against contender ( rated in the Ring Magazine) Pietro Aurino. In a typical wild affair he was butted by the Italian and kicked him in the stomach in return. When he wasn't disqualified the Italian stormed out of the ring in disgust and was declared loser. Right afterwards he outpointed another world class fighter in undefeated (23-0) contender Vadim Tokarev this time without controversy. He is rated #7 by the Ring Magazine but was Kod by Steve Cunningham for the IBF title.
