The Boxing World Reacts to Ryan Burnett’s World Title Win
Ireland has a new world champion.
Ryan Burnett [17(9)-0] claimed the IBF bantamweight title last night with a dominant points win over reigning champion Lee Haskins at the SSE Odyssey Arena in Belfast.
The Antrim Road man came in for high praise following the win.
