Josh Taylor's controversial victory over Jack Catterall WILL be investigated after the world title challenger claimed he was robbed.
Taylor clung on to his four super-lightweight world titles in Glasgow despite being dropped in the eighth round and dominated for large swathes of the fight.
Only one of the three judges gave the Englishman the nod with Ian John Lewis and Victor Loughlin scoring the fight for Taylor.
The boxing world was united in its condemnation of the result and the British Boxing Board of Control have demanded an explanation from their officials.
"We will be looking into it. There were some very close rounds, it was a very close, very scrappy fight, and I have asked for reports from the judges which we will be studying this week," the Board's General Secretary Robert Smith told the Daily Telegraph.
"Our judges are honest people, and scored it as they saw it. I was there, and I thought Catterall pipped it."
Catterall stormed off when the decision was announced and articulated his thoughts on Instagram on Sunday.
“You know what hurts the most, it wasn’t for me, I done all of this for my family my team, my town and country,” the Chorley boxer wrote. “My baby girl and misses, our future. Today I should of been waking up with all of the belts. 15 months out the ring, they all wrote me off.
“F***** me in every way possible for over two years, finally got the fight. Sacrificed everything to fight one of the top p4p ranked fighters, gave him a lesson. For what. Boxing shame on you."
Cattarall made his thoughts towards the judges clear and summed up his feelings by saying: "Dreams stolen."
One bookmaker refunded bets on Catterall and a number of former world champions expressed their disbelief at the call.

Catterall's trainer Jamie Moore, meanwhile, branded the decision "disgusting".
"He stepped aside on the promise that he would get the opportunity, he gets the opportunity and he performs like that, beats the champion in his own backyard, and gets absolutely robbed," he told Sky Sports.
"So think about the message it sends to people? My son is 16 and getting into boxing. He’ll be looking at that and thinking why should I get into boxing?
"The moment you work for, for all your life, to get crowned a world champion after a performance like that, is snatched away from you. It’s disgusting. Jack is absolutely heartbroken."
