African Boxing Union Champion, Tony Salam (16-4-0), lost the WBC International title to WBC Asia Champion, Serdar Avci (14-0-0), after his injury prevented him from fighting when the two met in the ring on Saturday in Istanbul, Turkey.
Salam who fights under Nigeria’s leading boxing promotional company, Saleh Gloves Promotion unfortunately couldn’t take the vacant belt and dent the Turkish champion’s unblemished record as Avci remained undefeated and added the WBC International title to his collection.
Avci attacked and cornered Salam for two rounds, before winning the WBC International silver belt after the Nigerian’s injury prevented him from continuing the fight. With this title, Avci has now earned the right to fight for a shot at the world championship.
