Karoly Balzsay claimed the WBO super-middleweight title with victory over the previously-unbeaten Denis Inkin.

The win made it 20 wins from 20 fights for Balzsay, but Inkin suffered his first defeat in his 35-fight career.

Inkin had beaten Fulgencio Zuniga last year to win the title vacated by Joe Calzaghe when he stepped up to light-heavyweight.

However, on this occasion he dropped the points verdict, going down on the scorecards by margins of 116-112 (twice) and 115-113.

On the same bill, Zsolt Erdei maintained his unbeaten record against Yuri Barashian, also on points.

However, Erdei's WBO light-heavyweight title was not on the line after his opponent failed to make the 175lbs weight.

The Hungarian was awarded the decision by margins of 116-111, 117-110 and 116-111 by the judges, with Barashian deducted a point on all the cards for a low blow in the ninth round.
