• Dereck Chisora beats David Price on technical knockout
Scotland’s Josh Taylor became the unified world champion of the super-lightweight division with a majority decision win over Regis Prograis in a thrilling contest at the O2 Arena. Any suggestions this should not have been the main bill were put to bed with both fighters producing a masterclass in London.
Judge Benoit Roussel scored the fight 114-114, but Matteo Montella (117-112) and Alfredo Polanco (115-113) gave it to Taylor; much to the delight of the Scots inside the O2 Arena. The Edinburgh fighter now holds the WBC, WBA and IBF titles, the Ring Magazine belt and World Boxing Super Series Ali Trophy.
