Hackney welterweight Siar Ozgul lost his Southern Area title fight against Samuel Antwi at York Hall on Friday.
The fight took place on a stacked MTK Global show, with Ozgul hoping to claim a strap he previously fought for in July last year, losing to Mikey Sakyi.
Ozgul and Antwi traded blows over 10 rounds, but it was the latter who won 98-93 on referee Lee Cook’s scorecard.
It was a disappointing loss for the 26-year-old, whose record now reads 15 wins and three defeats.
