Re: Nyilawila and Mbelwa fought to Technical Draw on May 24
Note: the head clash initially reported as intentional was ruled accidental. Nyilawila was declared the winner on points- 69-63, 69-62, and 69-62. The UBO article was edited to reflect the official outcome- Nyilawila winning by a unanimous seven-round technical decision rather than the bout ending in an eight-round terchnical draw as first reported.
