Harrison defeats Boswell
Audley Harrison claimed his third successive professional win in a row, with a points win over American Cedric Boswell in their heavyweight fight.
The fight which sprang into life from the get-go, had both boxers trading punches as they went in search of a knockout blow, the crowd at South Africa's Carnival City getting a contest they were not expecting and were on their feet several times to show their appreciation.
Harrison got the win following a split decision - scored 59-55, 58-57 by two judges.
Boswell, however, was deemed the victor by one judge - giving him the edge 58-57 but to no avail.
For Harrison, in only his third professional fight, it was the closest he has come to his first defeat, but arguably the toughest challenge of his pro career.
"It was a tough fight," said Harrison. "I have no excuses, I didn't box great but it was a split decision.
