ALBERT SOSNOWSKI WITH EBU TITLE

Albert Sosnowski of Poland, now fighting out of London, won an easy decision over the Italian, Paolo Vidoz. Sosnowski has had a long and successful career at Heavyweight, yet has until now, not been able to break his way into the big time. With his win over Vidoz, he claimed the vacant EBU European Heavyweight title, and edged his way closer to the top ten in the World rankings.

In 2008, Sosnowski scored an eighth round TKO victory over Danny Williams, which many had hoped he could use as a platform to greater things. After a draw in April this year to Francisco Pianeta, he has had to wait until now to really get the ball rolling.

Sosnowski did everything right tonight, bar end the fight early. From the first round to the final bell, he stuck with his strong jab and lateral movement to open up Vidoz and create opportunities for himself. Though he took a few rounds to really get some momentum, when he did, the results were impressive. His jab is certainly his strongest weapon, yet he also displayed a mean right hook to the body on many occasions tonight and isn’t afraid to put his punches together.

Rarely does Vidoz allow his opponent an easy night, and in breezing past the Italian former EBU and IBF Inter-Continental champion, Sosnowski has given a statement of intent. His abilities have been sharpened over the past few years and he had consistently proved himself to be one of the few Heavyweights that come to fight in truly great shape. With a record now reading 45-2-1 (27KO’s) there is no better time for Sosnowski to make a break for the next level.
