Ajisafe tried his best to take the control back later in the match but Hosea Burton, who had learned from his past mistakes, did not give him any lead to grab the victory.
Talking afterward, Hosea Burton said, “Ajisafe is a tricky boxer for anybody as he has put down Tony Bellew before. I outboxed him tonight and I came out with one-two and caught him clean. For me, this was the final and he was the joint favorite. This is not going to be a bad tournament.”
