Rogan off to US as Belfast title fight KOd

WBU chief Dan ‘Moose’ Lewis believes the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) should be investigated by Scotland Yard for denying Irish heavyweight Martin Rogan a shot at a world title.

Belfast-born Rogan had been due to challenge Panama’s Luis Andreas Pineda for the WBU belt at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast on October 27.

But the BBBofC controversially refused to sanction the bout. Rogan has now been invited to challenge for the same title in the USA by Lewis.
