East Kilbride boxer David Jamieson says a ‘freak punch’ forced him to retire with a broken jaw as Mikael Lawal took the vacant British Cruiserweight title at London’s Alexandra Palace on Sunday.
The Westwood fighter was more than holding his own in the fight, but was caught with a vicious punch in the eighth round of the 12-round contest that forced to retire, undergoing surgery on Monday morning in London.
However, Jamieson says the bout proved to him that he can cut it at the highest level, and promises big things are ahead of him in 2023.
