Last night, after the Jewish Sabbath ended, Yuri Foreman became the first Israeli boxer to win a major world title.

Foreman, an aspiring rabbi who mixes religious studies with work in the gym, beat Daniel Santos after 12 rounds to claim the WBA super welterweight crown.

Foreman, 29 years old, was born in Belarus but lived in Israel from the ages of 10 to 19, knocked Santos down with a right hand in the final round, but by then the outcome had long since been decided. He won 117-109 on two ringside scorecards and 116-110 on the third, upsetting the odds to bring glory to Israel.

Congratulations to Yuri as he joins the tradition of Jewish Boxing Champions
