Liam Wilson’s corner will launch a protest after he was denied an incredible underdog boxing world title, beaten by favourite Emanuel Navarrete despite flooring the Mexican in the fourth round. 7NEWS
It was Navarrete’s 32nd consecutive win, dating back to 2012 and his 11th title fight, the victory making him the 10th Mexican to win titles in three divisions.

Initially a major outsider, he firmed during fight week despite a dramatic weigh-in that finished with the Australian’s camp crying foul.Accusing officials of cheating, they demanded a meeting with authorities on Friday and eventually got it just hours before the fight.
