Kash Ali retains IBF European title with win over Roman Gorst

Kash Ali made a successful defence of his IBF European title over Roman Gorst in seven rounds at the Ponds Forge Arena in Sheffield.

Coming in to the fight, Kash had four consecutive wins since his sole defeat to David Price in 2019 and is looking to put his name back in the heavyweight mix after last nights win.

Kash looked somewhat uninterested at times in the fight but always had control over his opponent Gorst, who was game but never really troubled Ali. Gorsts corner pulled him out before the start of the eighth round with seemingly a broken jaw.

"I know I've got things to improve on, I'm not the finished article. I'm improving and improving fight by fight. I'm 29 years old coming in to my peak and I believe I will become heavyweight champion of the world" said Kash Ali in his post fight interview.

Tommy Frank battled to a unanimous points victory over Matt Windle to claim the British Flyweight title in front of his home fans.

It was a terrific fight between the pair, Frank scored an early knockdown in the second round when a right hand sent Windle to the canvas.

Frank took the majority of the rounds in the first half of the fight including the 10-8 round, giving him a substantial lead in the fight leaving Windle a mountain to climb.

After the final bell the two were met with a standing ovation after a hard fought battle. Tommy Frank came out victorious on the scorecards which read; 117-111, 118-109, 117-110.

Grimsby's Levi Giles remained unbeaten with an impressive and enteratining win over the game Jonny Phillips.
