From BBC Sport
Gavin Rees powered to a unanimous points victory over champion Souleymane M'Baye to win the WBA light welterweight title in Cardiff.
The comprehensive success saw the unbeaten 27-year-old from Newbridge become Wales' 10th world champion.
Rees took the initiative from the start although M'Baye caused him some moments of worry midway through the bout.
Despite the absence of a big shot, the Welshman took the verdict 110-118, 112-117, 113-117. |
