Stephen Foster Says Virus Played Role in Fegatilli Loss
Stephen Foster Jr's first defence of the European super-featherweight title ended in defeat as Ermano Fegatilli claimed a convincing unanimous decision in Bolton.

Stephen Foster Jr's first defence of the European super-featherweight title ended in defeat as Ermano Fegatilli claimed a convincing unanimous decision in Bolton.

At the Reebok Stadium in Bolton, a stunning shocker took place when little-known and totally unheralded Belgium-based Italian, Ermano Fegatilli (23-4, 5 KOs), 26, got his biggest win so far with a huge upset of defending European champion Stephen Foster (28-3-1, 18 KOs), 30, in twelve sensational rounds. Fegatilli dropped his opponent five times in rounds nine, ten and eleven en route to a rather thin unanimous decision with scores 114-110 and 114-109 (twice) to take this prestigious belt.

STEPHEN FOSTER JR is hoping big fight opponent Ermano Fegatilli isn’t as clever in the ring as he is outside of the ropes.

STEPHEN FOSTER JR is waking up every morning and forgetting that he will be defending his European super-featherweight championship later this month.

ERMANO FEGATILLO has revealed he took up boxing after his dad refused to pay for surgery to make his nose smaller.
