Sexton retains Commonwealth belt
Sam Sexton retained his Commonwealth heavyweight title by beating Martin Rogan at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast.
Rogan produced a brave display and was well on top in the fifth round but was pulled out by his own corner after Sexton dominated the sixth round.
For the 25-year-old Norwich fighter, it was his 13th win in 14 fights as he defeated Rogan for the second time.
Rogan, a 38-year-old former Belfast taxi driver, was hoping to reclaim his Commonwealth crown but just fell short.
After a brutal contest, Rogan said that he had been hampered by a neck injury which he had sustained in his last fight.
