Galal Yafai retained his WBC International flyweight title in Las Vegas, but the 2020 Olympic gold medalist was forced to work hard for his win against Agustin Gauto.
Fighting in America for the third time, Yafai moved to 7-0 as he closes in on a world title shot.
Starting the contest well, Yafai raced into an early lead as he dominated Gauto with his jab and landed multiple power shots.
Impressing since turning pro in 2022, the plan for Yafai has always been to be fast tracked and it looks like he’s closing in on a big fight.
Gauto wasn’t expected to provide Yafai with a stern test, but his confidence grew when Yafai was cut from a clash of heads.
The Argentinian fighter pushed forward, but Yafai matched him, and he was able to get the job done in the eighth session.
