Ijaz Ahmed cause a mild upset by defeating the previously undefeated Kaisy Khademi via majority decision to take the Afghan’s WBO European Super Flyweight title, and also claim the vacant IBF European strap at the Copper Box Arena on Saturday.
Frank Warren’s latest BT Sport card was decimated by the rescheduling of the Jamel Herring vs Carl Frampton fight that was due to top the bill. Then at late notice, the replacement headliner, Anthony Cacace’s British Super Featherweight title defence against Lyon Woodstock had to be shelved due to Woodstock returning a positive Covid-19 test just two days away from fight night, thus elevating Khademi and Ahmed to main event status.
