Burnett stops Haskins to win IBF world bantamweight title

By Daily Sports on June 11, 2017

Ryan Burnett has won the IBF world bantamweight title with an impressive points victory over champion Lee Haskins in Belfast.

The home challenger dominated in a one-sided bout but one judge gave the fight to Haskins in a split decision.

Bristol fighter Haskins, who was making his third defence, was floored twice and bravely held on to the final bell.

"I always knew I would be a world champion although I had to dig deep," Burnett told Sky Sports.

Both fighters sustained a cut following a clash of heads in the second round at the SSE Arena.

Burnett, 25, edged the opening three rounds before seizing total control as his powerful right hand pushed Haskins back.
