Tiedt won a silver medal for Ireland at the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, Australia in the welterweight division. Tiedt beat opponents from Poland, the United States, and Australia before losing a split decision to Nicolae Linca of Romania. The following year Tiedt won a bronze medal at the European Amateur Boxing Championships in Prague.
He turned professional in 1959 but his professional career was not as successful as his amateur career with a points victory over Al Sharpe to gain the Irish Welterweight Title the only highlight. Tiedt finished with a record of 12 wins, 7 defeats and 2 ties. [citation needed]
Tiedt is the uncle of Liam Mooney, a former rugby player and now an entrepreneur living in Dubai.
