Bash Ali retains WBF cruiser weight title

Bash Ali has retained his World Boxing Federation cruiser weight after his opponent Tony Booth from Britain threw in the towel after just three rounds in their scheduled 12 round encounter at the indoor sports hall of the National stadium,Lagos

Although the fight ended in the 3rd round  when Tony Booth corner threw in the towel, They were  later to explain that Tony had slipped in his hotel bathroom and injured his ankle on the morning of the fight , but that he had to go out and fight in order not to let  the  teeming boxing fans down.

And the popular belief that the challenger was  an unknown boxer and a s such a  push over, was  however, easily wiped out in the first round as he stood and fought toe to toe with the Bash Ali and landing some solid punches sending packed hall charging for more.

The Briton has promised to return later in the year to retire Bash from boxing
