David Adeleye TKO6 Jeamie Tshikeva... Frank Warren expects newly minted British heavyweight champion David Adeleye (14-1) to chase bigger names such as Dillian Whyte after a successful show in Manchester on Saturday. DAZN broadcast Adeleye's fight, a controversial knockout of Jeamie "TKV" Tshikeva (8-2). Adeleye's victory, which saw Adeleye hit his foe after referee Ron Kearney called for a break of a clinch was a major talking point afterwards. Tshikeva got up from the questionable bloe, but was clearly impaired and the fight stopped soon afterwards. Warren admitted he wanted to have a second view of the event, adding: "I want to watch it back. A lot of fighters were saying that's the case but I want to watch it back."
Briths trainer Ben Davison was far more opinionated that TKV was done wrong: "Jeamie TKV was well on his way to victory last night... TKV was picking up rounds by larger margins as the fight was unfolding! A fighter can not be rewarded for directly disobeying the referees orders/an illegal blow (no matter how much you try to justify it!) I fully expect the result to be overturned!"
