- Briton enjoys unanimous points decision win in Las Vegas
- Buatsi seals 116-110, 117-109, 117-109 points victory
Britain’s Conor Benn dug deep for a hard-fought but unanimous points decision win against the previously unbeaten Peter Dobson in their welterweight bout in Las Vegas, while Joshua Buatsi won his WBA light-heavyweight championship final eliminator against Dan Azeez at Wembley Arena.
Benn, who is still banned from fighting in his home country, was on top early on in Nevada but was stymied by Dobson in the later stages of their fight. Nonetheless each judge scored the fight for Benn, who extended his unbeaten record to 23-0.
