In the European Bantamweight Championship (-53.524 kg), Élie Konki (31 years old, 1.70 m, 14 victories, including 1 before the limit, now 2 defeats) was beaten on points, two judges to one (112- 116, 114-115, 116-113), by the title holder, the English left-hander Thomas Essomba (36 years old, 1.63 m, 13 wins, including 4 before the final, 1 draw, 4 wins), Friday evening in Sheffield.
The first seven rounds were very close, difficult to score. The first three saw little action, before the fight toughened up from the fourth. Essomba was the most active, but the Frenchman blocked the shots. In the last five rounds, Konki was superior. Taking the initiative, he forced the champion to retreat.
