Chelli Triumphs to Claim British and Commonwealth Titles
In a display of tactical prowess and sheer determination, Zak Chelli emerged victorious in the super-middleweight division, clinching both the British and Commonwealth titles. His unanimous decision win was a testament to his skill and tenacity inside the ring.
The much-anticipated bout took place on the undercard of the high-profile clash between Natasha Jonas and Mikaela Mayer. Fans were treated to an evening of boxing excellence as these fighters showcased their talents.
Chelli's victory was not only a showcase of his boxing ability but also a redemption of sorts. He had previously faced off against Cullen in 2020, which resulted in a draw. This time, however, Chelli left no doubt about his superiority.
Despite facing an opponent with a notable height advantage, Chelli executed a strategy that neutralized this factor effectively. His approach kept him competitive throughout the match, ensuring that he remained a step ahead of his adversary.
One of the defining moments of the fight was witnessed in the second round when Chelli unleashed a barrage of power punches. These decisive blows set the tone for the rest of the encounter, highlighting Chelli's strength and precision.
As the final bell rang, it was clear that Chelli had done enough to sway the judges in his favor. The scorecards reflected his dominance with scores of 116-113, 116-112, and 115-114, all in favor of Chelli. This victory marked a significant milestone in his career, fulfilling a dream that many boxers aspire to achieve.
Jeffers Retains English Title With Skillful Display
In another captivating match-up, Mark Jeffers successfully defended his English super-middleweight title against challenger Germaine Brown. Jeffers' performance was characterized by sharp technique and strategic execution, cementing his status as a champion.
Throughout the fight, Jeffers demonstrated his boxing acumen, landing impactful shots that resonated with the audience and judges alike. A particularly memorable moment came when he delivered a crisp uppercut followed by a powerful right cross, showcasing his striking capabilities.

The judges' scorecards unanimously favored Jeffers, with two judges scoring the contest 98-93 and the third seeing it 99-92. This victory solidified Jeffers' position at the top of the English super-middleweight division and added another successful defense to his record.
