| On the undercard the redoubtable Karl Ouch stepped up his claim to a world title shot in the light-heavyweight division with a bruising win over the tough Romanian debutante Ion Citu. Citu deployed an unorthodox style with a low guard and in doing so courted trouble, which duly arrived in round six in the form of a sweetly timed straight right hand which sent him to the canvas. There was a moment of trepidation as the medical team rushed into the ring to aid the stricken chessboxer, but within a few seconds relief flooded the room as he opened his eyes and signalled all was well. |
