Ricky Burns beats Alexandre Lepelley on points, but fails to shine in his first fight since stepping up to light welterweight.

Ricky Burns has won his first fight since stepping up to light welterweight with a comfortable points victory over Alexandre Lepelley in Leeds.

Looking to bounce back after consecutive defeats to Terence Crawford and Dejan Zlaticanin, the former WBO lightweight title holder made a promising start, flooring his opponent in the first round and the Scot used the jab to good effect in the first three rounds.

The Frenchman, a late replacement for Esteban Gonzalez, tried to pose more problems for a ring-rusty Burns who failed to assert himself on the middle rounds of the fight.

Lepelley was deducted a point late in the fight for a clash of heads, a decision the French fighter was unhappy with.

However, the deduction made little impact on the final scoreline as Burns won 79-71 despite failing to build on his initial promise.
