Lewis Crocker claimed the vacant IBF welterweight title with a split decision win against Paddy Donovan at Windsor Park.
The Belfast man scored knockdowns in rounds three and five, which proved critical as two cards in his favour read 114-112 and 114-113, while Donovan claimed a 115-111 verdict on the third.
It was a night of vindication for Crocker in this rematch, having won the first meeting between the pair in March by disqualification despite being second best in the fight.
The Belfast man produced a much better performance this time and was much crisper, quicker and sharper with his heavy hands, although using them sparingly, proved vital as he improved to 22-0 with Donovan's record now at 14-2.
