Lamon Brewster v Germany's Luan Krasniqi

Lamon Brewster retained his WBO heavyweight title with a ninth-round win over Germany’s Luan Krasniqi in Hamburg.

The bout was staged on what would have been German legend Max Schmeling’s 100th birthday but American Brewster proved a party pooper by flooring the home hope twice.

Krasniqi held his own for eight rounds before a big right sent him crashing to the canvas and he was clearly hurt when going down again towards the end of the next round.

Brewster, who claimed the title with a fifth-round win over Wladimir Klitschko in April last year, took his record to 33-2 with a third successful defence.
