The action in France last night was at Palais des Sport Marcel Cerdan in Levallois-Perrett in Hauts-de-Seine with two European title bouts and a French title clash on tap.
Former WBA light welter champ Souleymane M'baye, 38-3-1 (28), pulled out a narrow split decision victory against ex-European, IBO and British titlist Colin Lynes, 31-6 (12), to capture the vacant European light welter crown.
European lightweight ruler Anthony Mezaache, 16-5-3 (3), retained his belt for the first time by posting a unanimous decision over Andrei Kudriavtsev, 31-7 (13), of Ukraine.
The super middleweight title of France was on offer in the contest between Medhi Bouadla, 17-3 (7), and Anthony Prunier, 9-5 (4), with Bouadla coming out on top when Prunier did not come out for the ninth round.
Light welter Ali Chebah, 31-1- (24), stopped Fidel Monterrosa Munoz, 19-1 (14), in the fifth for the NABF and WBC Youth titles.
