Sky Friday fight night: Double bill of title fights with Carl Dilks vs Charles Adamu & Albert Sosnowski vs Paulo Vidoz
Sosnowski won his first 19 fights, 12 wins by KO, and had fought in Denmark, Poland, United Kingdom, United States and Netherlands.[1]
In July 2001, Sosnowski fought for his first title belt against Canadian Arthur Cook in Budapest, Hungary, for the vacant WBC World Youth heavyweight title. Sosnowski, who was clearly ahead on points all scorecards, was knocked out by Cook in the ninth round to take the title.
In July 2008 Sosnowski lost to journeyman Zuri Lawrence, who had taken the fight on late notice but in November 2008 he defeated British fighter Danny Williams when Sosnowski himself was the underdog and he had taken the fight at late notice.[1]
He fought Francesco Pianeta on April 4, 2009 with the fight going to a draw after twelve rounds.
His first match was held at Madison Square Garden on January 27, 2001 against Chris Morris. He won the match via knockout at 2 minutes and 22 seconds in the first round.
Vidoz kept up a solid winning streak before encountering Zuri Lawrence, a "journeyman" fighter who, while proficient in his defensive ability, lacks a modicum of talent with regard to hitting his opponents (he has failed to record even a single knockout throughout his 12 years in the ring). Lawrence was able to baffle Vidoz with his slippery movement in the ring and score a unanimous decision after eight rounds.
Vidoz bounced back with his next fight, registering a devastating knockout of Eduardo Sandivares at just under a minute into the fight.
Vidoz dropped out of serious contention with a ninth round TKO loss to 7 ft 2 inch Russian prospect Nicolay Valuev on October 9, 2004 at the Messehalle in Erfurt, Germany.
On June 6, 2005 Vidoz captured vacant European (EBU) Heavyweight title and IBF Inter-Continental Title with a split decision over Timo Hoffmann. Vidoz followed this up with a victory over British fighter Michael Sprott, but his "Titanium Jaw" was later checked in a fight in July 2006 against Vladimir Virchis, who beat Vidoz by KO in the 6th.
After his loss to Virchis he rebounded with two more wins against Alexei Osokin and Antoine Palatis before losing to Virchis one more time this time by unanimous decision.
He won two more fights against Zoltan Peto and Paul Butlin both of them who he beat by knockout.
He faced Sinan Samil Sam for the vacant EBU (European) heavyweight title on July 4, 2008 but lost by majority decision. He fought Matt Skelton for the vacant EBU European heavyweight title on December 19th 2008. He lost the fight after refusing to come out for Round 10. In his most recent fight he defeated Tomasz Zeprzalka by TKO in the 4th Round.
