Boxing: Headbutt Results in No Contest

by Kris on December 10th, 2007

Danny William’s challenge for the IBF Heavyweight Title fell short over the weekend as his bout against Oleg Platov was ruled a no contest:

Both fighters were marked after just three minutes, and it got worse in the second round.

Williams fired in a few strong shots which wobbled his foe only for Platov to return the favor.

It was during one of those wild exchanges that a bad cut opened above Platov’s left eye which the referee ruled came from an accidental headbutt.

The fight continued following the incident but was called in the fourth round and ruled a no contest. Don’t be surprised if we see a rematch of this one.
