Posted : 07 October 2023

 

 
Ellis Zorro thrilled the home crowd in London by successfully defending his WBO European Cruiserweight title against Italian opponent Luca D'Ortenzi. Zorro, at 31 years old, secured a unanimous points victory, with the judges' scorecards reading 96-94, 97-93, and a lopsided 98-92 in his favor. The British fighter displayed an impressive workrate throughout the bout, mixing jabs with body shots.
 
The early rounds saw Zorro take the initiative, using a combination of jabs and body shots. However, D'Ortenzi gained confidence in the middle rounds, consistently landing his left hook and forcing Zorro onto the defensive. Both fighters landed shots in the closing rounds, but Zorro's superior work-rate ultimately made the difference. Zorro's record now stands at an impressive 17-0 (7 KOs), while D'Ortenzi's record is 17-4 (4 KOs).
 
The fight of the night featured two undefeated super welterweights, Joshua Frankham and George Davey. Frankham (9-0, 2 KOs) narrowly edged Davey (8-1-1) with a score of 76-75 over eight rounds. The match showcased Frankham's pressure flurries and Davey's slick jab and reflexes. It was a closely contested battle, with Frankham getting caught by a counter in the sixth round, but his indomitable will helped him secure the victory in the final round.
 
In another notable bout, Chris Bourke (13-1-1, 7 KOs) impressed by stopping Adam Mbega (11-4-1, 8 KOs) in the fourth round of their super bantamweight contest. Masood Abdullah (9-0, 6 KOs) also delivered a strong performance by stopping former British champion Marc Leach (18-3-1) in their super featherweight contest.
 
Karl Itauma (11-1, 7 KOs) continued his recovery from a previous loss with a clear points victory over Dmytro Fedas, while Carl Fail (10-0, 3 KOs) secured a points victory against journeyman Angel Emilov, although Emilov made it challenging by closing the distance throughout the fight. Overall, it was an action-packed night of boxing with impressive performances and close contests.
