To the ageless 52-year-old former world heavyweight champion Firat Arslan (54-9-3, 39 KOs), still No. 5 in the WBA rankings, took just 70 seconds to stop 21-year-old Ibrahim Yildirim (11-4, 10 KOs) in Saturday night's main event at the Helios Arena in Villingen-Schwenningen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Arslan landed an inconspicuous left hook, after which Yildirim decided to fall on the floor and stay there until the end of the countdown. Arslan plans to return to the ring in October.
