News summary

Caoimhin Agyarko remained unbeaten by defeating Ryan Kelly via majority decision in Sheffield, claiming the WBA Continental light-middleweight (super welterweight) title after stepping in at short notice due to Ishmael Davis' injury. The fight was competitive, with both boxers trading jabs early, but Agyarko’s speed and timing allowed him to edge ahead, despite suffering a cut above his left eye in the fifth round. Agyarko adjusted well in the later rounds, finishing strongly and impressing judges, who scored the 10-round contest 97-94, 96-94, and 95-95 in his favor. This victory improves Agyarko's record to 17-0 and, following a quiet period in his career, positions him for bigger opportunities and a potential move toward world title contention. The win also consolidates his status as a rising contender in the division, as he was already ranked number five by the WBA prior to this bout. Kelly, meanwhile, was handed his sixth professional defeat.
