Frankie Gavin is the new British welterweight champ after an excellent performance was satisfied with a common decision over Junior Witter. Gavin, 27, had looked wary of Witter’s power early on but grew into the competition, landing the fight’s cleanest series of shots in the eighth round. Witter dropped his work rate and hands in an attempt to lure Gavin in and was come in a point for holding in the 10th.

The 38-year-old raised the tempo but had too much of a deficit to make up. “It means everything,” Gavin told. “A year ago, no-one ever thought I would even win an English title and now I am back where I belong.” Gavin, who has suffered with problems away from boxing, including bereavement, association issues and illness, pulled out of a fight against Frank Horta in October just hours before the bout.
