NEUBRANDENBURG, GERMANY (AP)<\/small> \u2014Australia\u2019s Daniel Geale took the IBF middleweight title from Germany\u2019s Sebastian Sylvester, winning a split decision Saturday night.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old Gaela received winning scores of 118-110 from judge Steve Epstein and 118-112 from Marcus McDonell, while Berit Andreasen scored it 118-110 in favor of the defending champion.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel on top of the world,\u201d Geale. \u201cI knew I had to work hard.\u201d<\/p>\n

Geale was the more active fighter throughout, with Sylvester adopting a defensive approach and using his longer reach to good effect. However, the 30-year-old German found it hard to hit the elusive Australian.<\/p>\n

The fighters hit the canvas together after a tangle in the 10th round.<\/p>\n

Geale improved to 25-1. Sylvester dropped to 34-4-1.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe did more and also hit more. I have to give him my respect. He is the new world champion now,\u201d Sylvester said. \u201cThe breaks weren\u2019t too short. Maybe the preparation was.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
