Dmitry Bivol wins points decision over Craig Richards

Russia's Dmitry Bivol defended his WBA World Light Heavyweight Title against Londoner Craig Richards on the Chisora vs Parker showdown at the Manchester Arena live on Sky Box Office.

Bivol was defending his title for the seventh time since winning it from Felix Valera in May 2016.

There was no doubting who the winner was as Bivol showed what a talent he is in terms of stand-up boxing ability, but, Richards probably came out with more credit as he showed he too could box with the best.

Scores: Steve Gray 115-114 | Yury Koptsev 115-113 | Grzegorz Molenda 118-110.
