Josh Padley vs Aqib Fiaz – results and post-fight report
Josh Padley defended his European super featherweight title for the first time at the Utilita Arena in Sheffield, beating Aqib Fiaz by split decision on Saturday.
Padley (19-1, 6 KO) scored to stop Jaouad Belmehdi in the second round to win the vacant European belt in January. Fiaz (14-2, 2 KO) retired after eight bouts for the Commonwealth crown against Reece Bellotti in 2023 and has since lost only twice, with his last victory on points coming against Alex Murphy last July.
In the second, Fiaz pushed the Yorkshireman back into the ropes and went to the body, disturbing his opponent.
The pair opened up in round three and Fiaz landed well to the body again in round four, clearly hurting Padley as he bravely finished the round.
The bodywork was evident again in the fifth round, but the champion fired back and pushed Fiaz away in the seventh round to gain a foothold.
The pace increased as Padley began to tighten the screws, but in the ninth round ‘Ambush’ put Padley under a lot of pressure and the 30-year-old once again survived the session in bleak conditions.
Padley, who had lost his world title fight to Shakur Stevenson, rallied and a left hand rocked Fiaz to the core in the 10th, and he kept landing as the fight came to an end.
Fiaz was deducted a point for a headbutt, and as the fight reached its climax, the pair went mad with lust for leather.
Scores of 115-113 and 114-113 allowed Padley to retain the belt, while the third score was 114-113 in favor of Fiaz.
Sulaimaan is the English champion
On the card below, Ibraheem Sulaimaan won the English super featherweight title with a crushing points defeat against Ibrahim Nadim (16-2, 2 KO).
Sulaimaan (11-0, 5 KO) looked at two cards and the third judge declared him the winner 98-92.
Undercard remaining
Potential middleweight contender Aaron Bowen (8-1, 6 KO) proved to be too much of a challenge for Troy Coleman (15-5-1, 7 KO), who won his ninth and penultimate stoppage victory in their fight.
Leon Atang (7-0, 6 KO) didn’t need long to defeat Fouad Shaili (5-5-2, 3 KO), as the heavyweight hope prevailed in just over two minutes and 30 minutes of the first round of the fight.

In the super featherweight division, Adam Maca (6-0, 5 KO) was forced to go the distance for the first time and won all six frames in defeating Cesar Ignacio Paredes (18-35-1, 5 KO), and featherweight newcomer Edward Hardy (7-0, 3 KO) stopped Jesus Carrasco (2-5-2) in the final round of the fight, after which both received multiple point deductions.
Connor Mitchell (3-0, 2 KO) needed just over two minutes to defeat Super Featherweight Rodrigo Matias Areco (5-22-2), and in the only four-round fight, Chris Mulunda (3-0) won all four middleweight rounds against Connor Goulding (6-13).

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.
Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.
Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.
Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.
Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.
The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.
The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.
McKean meets Taliva
Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.
McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.

The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.
Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
