Dmitry Bivol has won a unanimous decision over Lyndon Arthur to successfully defend his WBA light heavyweight title. All three ringside judges handed down 120-107 scorecards, as did the Guardian.
Bivol did manage to drop his British foe with a body shot late in the 11th round, but Arthur made it to the bell and survived an onslaught in the 12th to avoid the stoppage.
