Joshua Buatsi set up a tilt at either David Benavidez or Anthony Yarde after outpointing Zach Parker - but the Rio 2016 star was helped by some major scorecard controversy.
The former took a majority decision victory at Manchester's Co-op Live, despite failing to outland his opponent in a bout where he frequently appeared flat and devoid of ideas.
Parker, contesting the biggest fight of his career thus far, appeared primed to take the win after the bout went the distance, having worked the ring superbly to his advantage.
But a tendancy to clinch in the middle, combined with an increasingly higher workrate from his rival as the contest wore on, saw Buatsi seal the win to boos from the crowd.
