Professional career

[edit]

In December 1988, Bredahl turn professional winning his first fight at the Sheraton Hotel in Copenhagen, when Bredahl beat England's Gordon Stobie with a points decision over six rounds. Bredahl won seven of his first eight fights in a similar fashion.

Bredahl won the vacant EBU bantamweight title, in March 1992 with a seven-round knockout win over Scotland's Donnie Hood. Later that year, Bredahl won his first world title belt, the WBO super-flyweight title with a win over Jose Quirino.

Bredahl first opportunity to fight for a recognised world title belt came in December 1995, when he challenged Wayne McCullough for his WBC bantamweight title. However, Bredahl suffered the first defeat on his career when McCullough beat Bredahl by a knockout in the seventh round to retain his title.

Bredahl also won minor world titles from the IBO, WBU, and IBC.

In April 2002, he once again became a world champion by beating Eidy Moya to win the WBA bantamweight title. He went on to successfully defend the title 3 times and announced his retirement in October 2004.[1]

Bredahl briefly came back and fought Alexander Fedorov. However, he immediately went back to retirement after the fight.
