Buatsi outpoints Azeez in all-British bout

Briton Joshua Buatsi outpointed friend and rival Dan Azeez in a brilliant all-British light-heavyweight encounter at Wembley's OVO Arena.

Buatsi floored his fellow Londoner twice in the 11th round, although Azeez insisted he slipped on both occasions.

Two judges scored it 116-110 and the other 117-109 to Buatsi in a bout where both men continued swinging into the final seconds.
