Tony Bellew hits out at officiating for major British fight

Bellew wasn't happy.

Tony Bellew doesn't believe the judges for Jack Catterall's win over Josh Taylor emerged with any credit following their scoring of the bout.  

Catterall won 117-111 twice and 116-113, but many observers thought the fight was very close. 

Catterall started the contest much better and scored well with his jab, but as the contest wore on, Taylor began to have success.  

Finishing the bout stronger, Taylor gave a superb account of himself in the closing stages, but two judges scored big for Catterall leading Bellew to have his say. 

"The judges are gonna cloud Catterall's moment,” said Bellew when speaking on the DAZN broadcast. 

"I had it a really close fight. That 117-111 twice is a disgrace. Two wrongs don't make a right. 

"Just because something wrong was done to Catterall two years ago, doesn't make it right to do that to Taylor tonight."
