    Chris Eubank Jr retains title

    Chris Eubank Jr has successfully retained his title.

    Eubank beat former two-weight world champion Arthur Abraham with a unanimous points decision to keep his IBO world super-middleweight title.

    The 27-year-old produced a refined display to win on the scorecard 118-110, 118-110 and 120-108 at London’s Wembley Arena on Saturday night, 15 July.

    It was only the sixth defeat of Abraham's 52-fight career.

    The 37-year-old German, who has held world titles at middleweight and super-middleweight, was outclassed by the younger man on the night.

    Eubank Jr will now take part in the inaugural World Boxing Super Series - an eight-man tournament featuring some of the biggest names in the division.

    WBA champion George Groves and fellow Britons Jamie Cox and Callum Smith are also in the competition, which has a $50m (£38m) prize fund.
