Danny Dignum kept hold of his WBO European Middleweight title, but was held to a split draw by the tough Russian, Andrey Sirotkin, over ten rounds.
The fight headed the latest MTK Global offering from Bolton Whites Hotel. It was a dangerous fight for Dignum (13-0-1, 7 KOs) to take, as Sirotkin (19-1-1, 7 KOs) looked dangerous before being stopped in a 2018 defeat to John Ryder. This was the second defence of the belt for the Brit after winning the vacant title in November 2019.

MTK promoted their first UK show of 2021, and it was a card stacked full of talent. Topping the bill at Bolton Whites Hotel was a Commonwealth Lightweight title clash and Gavin Gwynne took the vacant belt with an absorbing seventh round stoppage of the previously unbeaten Sean McComb.
McComb (11-1, 5 KOs) was moving down from Super Lightweight, and began as favourite, but Gwynne (13-2, 2 KOs) had twice challenged for the British title previously, losing in good company to Joe Cordina and James Tennyson.
