Nov 17:Germany's Sven Ottke successfully defended his IBF super-middleweight title for the 16th time with a unanimous decision over Denmark's Rudy Markussen on Saturday.
Ottke made a sluggish start and was caught by an uppercut from the little-known Dane in the opening round.
But the 35-year-old took control of the bout in the sixth round, stringing together some slick combinations as he finally found his range.

All three judges gave the fight 116-112 to the German, who has won all his 29 fights, six by knockout.
"It was a hard piece of work," said Ottke.
"I really had to run around and throw some punches."
