Caoimhin Agyarko became the new World Boxing Association (WBA) Super Welterweight International Champion by defeating Lukasz Maciec by a wide unanimous decision on Saturday at the O2 Arena in London, England.

The Irishman put on a dominant fight against a very experienced opponent and came out on cards of 100-90, 100-90 and 99-93 after the 10 rounds. 

Agyarko fought a very tidy fight, carried the initiative and used his power punches well, especially to the body of the Polish. The Irishman managed to hurt Maciec at times but he had a worthy and tough opponent in front of him.

The Polish fought against the grain and tried to surprise Agyarko with long punches, he showed danger all the time but it was not enough to win the rounds. 

Agyarko won a new professional title after dropping from middleweight to super welterweight and now has a record of 12 wins, no losses and 7 knockouts, while Maciec has 28 wins, 5 losses, 2 draws and 5 knockouts.
