Wanheng Menayothin retained his WBC minimumweight title after beating Japan's Tatsuya Fukuhara in Chachoengsao yesterday. In yesterday's bout, Wanheng, 33, was declared the winner as the three judges scored it 79-73, 78-74, 78-74 in favour of the champion. The call came after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) recommended Aiba be barred from organising the Olympic boxing tournament because of governance issues. "We must move from words to deeds...to re-elect the entire Aiba leadership," said Russian boxing head and Aiba executive committee member Umar Kremlev.
