Nottingham's Jawaid Khaliq survived a tough test against Roman Dzuman to defend his IBO welterweight title for a fourth time.

The 32-year-old former taxi driver sealed victory with a late flourish to maintain his four-year unbeaten record.

After winning a split points decision over his previously defeated Ukrainian opponent, Khaliq revealed that he had considered withdrawing from the contest.

"I was affected by a bit of a cold and I was thinking about pulling out of the fight, but I didn't want to disappoint the fans," he said.

"It was very tough. I knew he would be - he was a very hungry fighter.

"I'm just glad to still have my title and we can prepare for some more big fights next year."
