Fabio Wardley kept hold of his British and Commonwealth heavyweight belts after his battling encounter with Frazer Clarke was ruled a split draw.
After a gruelling 12-round bout at the O2 Arena, one judge scored the contest 114-113 in favour of Wardley, another made it 115-112 to Clarke and the third called it a 113-113 draw.
Olympic bronze medallist Clarke was knocked down at the end of the fifth round and had a point deducted for a low blow in the seventh, while Wardley appeared to suffer a broken nose which left blood streaming down his face for the majority of the fight.
The result means both men remain undefeated and a rematch will be eagerly anticipated after a gripping contest.
