Anthony Crolla endured frustration in his pursuit of a world title shot as his lightweight clash with Gamaliel Diaz ended in a technical draw.
Diaz was left with a badly cut eye following a clash of heads in the third round and the fight ended in an unsatisfactory result, with the Mexican unable to continue.
This was a bitterly disappointing conclusion for Crolla, who has been chasing a fight against one of the division’s belt holders, and missed the chance to move even further up the rankings.
The experienced Diaz had shown his class with some eye-catching punches in the opening minutes, but Crolla answered with a string of stiff jabs.
