Jack Catterall picked up a technical decision win over Harlem Eubank after a clash of heads cut their welterweight fight short.
The domestic dust-up was waved off before the start of the seventh round due to the two combatants sustaining horrific cuts when they collided in the sixth.

But it was actually the doctor in Eubank’s corner who advised that the action be stopped.
As at least four rounds had been completed, the fight went to the scorecards with all three ringside judges scoring the bout in Catterall’s favour by margins of 69-65, 69-66, and 69-66.
Catterall got the better of proceedings and was a deserved winner, although it won’t have been the way he will have wanted to get his hand raised.
“The fight was going how I expected it to go, we were breaking him down,” Catterall said in the immediate aftermath.
“It’s frustrating not being able to get the rounds and go through them gears like I anticipated, but it’s a head clash.
“Not the way I wanted to win, but happy to be back in the win column.”
Both men blamed each other for the head clash, though neither of them thought it was intentional.
Eubank called for a rematch, but Catterall and his team seem intent on moving on.
