Wolverhampton's Gully Powar Lands British Title as Opponent Left with Horror Injuries
Gully Powar won a unanimous decision after an accidental head clash left Zak Miller with severe facial swelling and cuts.
- On Saturday night, 24-year-old Gully Powar defeated Zak Miller in Manchester to claim the vacant British featherweight title, becoming the first British champion from Wolverhampton Boxing Club.
- An accidental head clash in the seventh round left Miller with severe facial swelling; a ringside doctor examined the 29-year-old in the ninth round but allowed the bout to continue.
- Judges scored the contest 96-95, 97-94, and 96-94 in Powar's favor; Referee Mark Lyson ended the fight in the 10th round as Miller's swelling worsened.
- Observers questioned why Miller's corner did not intervene, while former world champion Carl Frampton, commentating for DAZN, described the swelling as "the worst I've ever seen."
- Trainer Richie Carter, with 45 years in boxing, praised Powar's work rate, while Queensberry Promotions is now backing the new champion for upcoming title defenses.
