Reece Mould became the World Boxing Association (WBA) Continental champion at lightweight by defeating Hamed Ghaz on Friday at the Magba Centre, Rotherham, England. 

Mould got the judges score 96-94, 96-94 and 97-94 in a close fight in which he brought out the best of his boxing and was able to defeat a tough opponent, in addition to taking away his unbeaten record.
