Geale claims second world boxing crown

Daniel Geale became the first Australian boxer to unify two major titles in the same division after a win over Felix Sturm in Germany.

In what was was an absorbing contest between two accomplished technicians, Beale added Sturm's WBA middleweight Super title to his IBF crown with a 12-round split decision points win.

Geale was making the third defence of his IBF title, improving his overall record to 28-1, 15 KOs. (Getty Images)
