KIERAN Gething is out of the Golden Contract super-lightweight tournament following a heartbreaking exit at the hands of Jeff Ofori in London tonight.
The quarter-final between Pontypool’s Gething and Londoner Ofori, a late replacement for Lewis Benson, ended in a draw.
When the three ringside judges can’t separate two fighters in the MTK Global event the winner is decided by the referee of the bout.
In this instance, Kieran McCann felt Ofori had done enough to progress to next spring’s semi-finals back at York Hall.
McCann was called on after Ian John Lewis scored the 10-round contest 96-95 to Gething, Marcus McDonnell went with Ofori 96-94 and Lee Every had it level at 95-95.
