Dillian Whyte survived a huge scare as he was handed a narrow win over Jermaine Franklin.
Whyte had his sights set on a rematch with bitter rival Anthony Joshua as he attempted to return to world title contention. But he struggled to get to grips with Franklin's speed in the early rounds and didn't appear to have rallied sufficiently in the latter stages.
But two of the three judges generously scored the fight in his favour (116-112) with the third scoring the fight a draw (115-115). Whyte insisted he had done enough to win but Franklin was left unhappy. "I felt like I got robbed, I felt like I did enough to get the decision," he said. "I felt like I won the earlier rounds. I just felt like I got robbed on the decision."
