Antwerp, Belgium: It was Sugar time again the packed Lotto Arena as "Sugar" Jackson Osei Bonsu retained the EBU welterweight title with a unanimous decision over tricky, awkward and brave French challenger Brice Faradji. It was scored 118-109, 116-111 and 115-113.
Osei Bonsu was overall too strong and powerful for the challenger, who was floored in the fifth, out on his feet late in the sixth and stunned a number of times. But his speed and tricky movement gave the champion plenty of problems, espcially in the later rounds.
The crowd wason their feet almost throughout the fight as the two slugged it out and everyone, probably Jackson himself as well, expected a knockout.
