The 28-year-old American was a dominant winner, with the judges scoring the fight 119-108, 116-112 and 116-112 in his favour.

Jermall had already said he wanted to face WBA (Regular) super-middleweight champion Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez in 2019.

Earlier, Jermall's identical twin brother Jermell was stunningly handed his first loss by Tony Harrison.

Harrison was awarded a 116-112, 115-113 and 115-113 win and the WBC light-middleweight title, handing Jermell (31-1) his first defeat.
