Yafai wins WBA title
KHALID Yafai became Britain’s 13th reigning world champion by winning the WBA super-flyweight title on Saturday, beating Luis Concepcion of Panama by a unanimous points decision.
The judges called the fight 120-108, 119-108 and 117-110 in favor of Yafai, who knocked down Concepcion in the 10th round and made the cleaner punches overall. Concepcion arrived in Britain as the champion, but was stripped of the title after failing to make weight and wasn’t fighting to regain it.
In another heavyweight fight on Saturday, Dillian Whyte beat fellow Briton Dereck Chisora on a split decision following an evenly matched slugfest that acted as an eliminator for the WBC title.
