The Londoner claimed the WBC interim heavyweight title following a unanimous points victory.

Dillian Whyte has secured a unanimous points victory over Oscar Rivas to claim the WBC interim heavyweight title at London's O2 Arena.

The victory, Whyte's 10th in a row following the only defeat of his career to Anthony Joshua in 2016, hung in the balance after he was floored in the ninth round.

But the 31-year-old Londoner recovered his composure to seal the win, with the judges scoring the bout 115-112, 115-112, and 116-111 in his favour.

Earlier in the night, Dave Allen was taken to hospital after being forced to retire against British rival David Price after the 10th round.

Promoter Eddie Hearn addressed Allen's injuries in Whyte's post-fight press conference, saying he thought the 27-year-old suffered a broken orbital bone and some damage to his tongue.

"He's undergone brain scans, which we believe isn't a major issue, and believe he's going to be OK," he said.

Allen later tweeted to say he was "probably done" now.

"Dont want anyone to worry about me, just a hard man gone old and soft the last 18 months, very happy and proud of David price, I will be okay but the last 12 months or so my health has been deteriorating and I'm glad I hung on took the chance and made money and now probably done," he said.
