Poland’s rising cruiserweight star Pawel Kolodziej reached the so far high point of his unbeaten career, winning the vacant World Boxing Federation crown in stunning fashion this past weekend.

Fighting in front of a packed and ecstatic hometown crowd in Strzelce Opolskie on Saturday night (actually it was already Sunday when the first bell rang), March 20, the 25-year-old Kolodziej (90,6 kg) pulverized England’s Mark Krence (90,1 kg) with a peach of a right to the chin in the third round of this scheduled 12.

Although a stunned Krence, just about to feel his way into the fight, up righted himself to barely beat referee Grzegorz Malenda’s count, but was overwhelmed immediately afterwards by Kolodziej, forcing the intervention of the third man in the ring.

The Pole had won the opener, but from the second round onwards, Krence found his distance better – until the devastating and at that moment unexpected end occurred.

Now ranked # 12 in the world by boxrec, new WBFed world champion Pawel Kolodziej, hailing from the south Polish city of Krynica Zdroj, brought his outstanding record to 25-0 (14). He turned professional just a day after his 20th birthday in September 2004 and had already won the WBC Youth title previously.
