Promoter Boxxer will protest with the British Boxing Commission after Jeamie TKV’s controversial shutdown losses against David Adeleye.

TKV competed with Adeleye for the British heavyweight title on Saturday at Co Op Live Arena in Manchester.

In the sixth round, referee Ron Kearney called a rest, so he instructed the two boxers to separate from the bend and slapped TKV’s left hand.

Adeleye threw a left hook and it grabbed TKV’s chin to the right of the latter. That shot knocked TKV down.

Instead of stopping the lawsuit to warn Adeleye to hit the break at rest, it was an action that was not allowed in boxing, but rather if Adeleye didn’t hear the referee, it wasn’t necessarily a intentional foul, but Kearney had just sent out the TKV in a count and allowed the fight to continue.

TKV was injured, only defeating the number before Adelaid attacked again, and after TKV fell for the second time, he was stopped.

As TKV’s team is angry at the referee’s action, his promoter Boxxer will protest with the British Boxing Commission, which will be discussed at a board meeting on Wednesday.

Boxxer’s Ben Shalom tells Sky movement: “We will protest with the British Boxing Committee at a board meeting on Wednesday. The decision must be overturned.”

He added: “Jeamie controls the fight and is on the way to win the British heavyweight title when the referee’s intervention costs him.

“We believe the board will make the right decision.”

“The more I see, the worse it is”

This is not the only referee on Manchester show that has caused shock.

In the third round of the Commonwealth Super Lightweight Championship battle between Corey O’Regan and Jack Rafferty, referee Darren Sarginson started breaking the fighter and unplugged O’Regan’s left glove. Lafferty immediately threw a tough right, grabbed O’Regan and flushed him away.

O’Regan fought, but was eventually eliminated in the fifth round, suffering his first defeat.

O’Regan’s manager Matthew Macklin told Sky movement: “I’ve looked at it several times and the referee pulled his hand down, blocking his left hand, and then left an opening for Jack Rafferty to lower the right hook, and after the referee pulled his hand, he did a second.

“That was the shooting that moved the battle. Corey kept boxing until then, winning the battle and told me he was just starting to feel really comfortable, finding his distance, etc.

“He never really recovered after that. Even though he might have won the fourth round, he was driving, heart struggle, instinct struggle, and that caused him a huge loss, so it was a crucial moment in the fight.

“This is unforgivable,” McLean concluded. “In fact, the more I see.”
