Chris Eubank Junior retained his IBO world super-middleweight title tonight at London’s Wembley Arena against Arthur Abraham.
The Brighton fighter claimed a unanimous points win over teak-tough Abraham.
Eubank, 27, was making the first defence of the IBO title he took from Renold Quinlan in February against the toughest opponent of his 25-fight career.
Abraham, 37, a veteran of 51 fights and 46 wins to his name coming into the showdown, was dominated from start to finish with one judge scoring it 120-108 to give Eubank every round.
Former two-weight world champion Abraham never looked like being the victor as Eubank put together combinations at will.
Abraham shrugged them off but was always well behind on points over 12 rounds.
