The judges were split. Mark Lyson marked it 96-95 for Giles. But Bob Williams scored 97-93 and Michael Alexander 97-94 both for Gomez, enough for Gomez Jr to win the vacant title.

Using Sky Sports' new interactive scorecard feature, viewers actually had it 97-96 in Giles' favour.

"I did think I did enough tonight, but hopefully we'll do it again somewhere down the line for a bigger title," Giles said.

Immediately afterwards Gomez Jr did apologise for the previous day's antics.

Frazer Clarke stopped Bogdan Dinu after the Romanian stayed on his stool after two rounds of their heavyweight contest had been completed.

Dinu had gallantly stepped in to box Olympic bronze medallist Clarke, replacing Rydell Booker after the American was taken seriously ill.

He came in at his fighting weight and is an experienced heavyweight gatekeeper. He's fought some of the division's top fighters including Daniel Dubois and Kubrat Pulev.

Clarke didn't get to work through his full arsenal of power punches but his hooks to the body did look punishing and Dinu withdrew with a rib injury.
