Fitzgerald wins and itching for crack at Lee

Belgecham, who went the full distance with both Lee and Darren Barker, could face a ban after he appeared to push or punch Spanish referee, Jose Ignatio Martinez, in protest after he stopped the fight 52 seconds into the fourth round.

Ian Tims outpointed Michael Sweeney for the Irish cruiserweight title, referee Emile Teidt awarding it to the Dubliner 97-95. Three-time world champion Katie Taylor got a rousing reception as she got a busy week under way with an easy points win over Spain’s Maria de Carmen Moreno.
