Isaac Chamberlain soundly defeated Mikael Lawal to win the British and Commonwealth cruiserweight titles.
Isaac Chamberlain soundly defeated Mikael Lawal to win the British and Commonwealth cruiserweight titles at York Hall in Bethnal Green on Saturday night. Too fast on his feet and too clever in their exchanges, he handled Lawal over the course of 12 rounds, winning a unanimous decision to claim the British championship his London rival held and pick up the vacant Commonwealth title. All three judges scored for Chamberlain, 119-111 and 118-111 twice.
Trailing in the late stages of the fight, Lawal needed to find something to shift the momentum of their contest. But, for all his strength, he could not catch Chamberlain cleanly. Instead, turning Lawal into his own corner, Chamberlain thumped his left hook into the head. By the last round the bout was almost entirely out of Lawal's grasp. He needed a knockout, yet Chamberlain would not let himself be pinned down. He stayed clear, or tied up Lawal when the British champion charged in.
