Maybe a chance for a title fight at our place....

BF world featherweight champion Lee Selby punched his way to a unanimous points victory over Mexico's Eduardo Ramirez at the Copper Box Arena.

Welshman Selby, who has had a difficult 2017 inside and outside of the ring, knew he could not lose his title after his opponent failed to make the weight.

And he showed his speed and sleek footwork as Ramirez threw a huge number of shots that missed completely.

The judges scored the contest 119-109, 118-110 and 116-112 in Selby's favour.

++++++++++++++

Josh Warrington on BT Sport: "It's nice to be called a decent fighter for a change by him compared to what he's been saying on social media.

On where the proposed fight should take place: "I wouldn't mind going away to go to Cardiff because I've won titles away from home and I have a massive following from Leeds with me.

"To have it at Elland Road would be massive for the country and why not? I'm the bigger ticket seller."

Barry boy Lee, has not had the media coverage he deserves. If this fight comes to the CCS we should pack the place out.

Because his achievements haven’t been accorded the coverage they deserve. He’s an excellent fighter.
