Moray boxer Fraser Wilkinson defeated by Dean Sutherland in Celtic super welterweight title bout in Aberdeen’s Beach Ballroom

Moray boxer Fraser Wilkinson has been defeated in his bid to become Celtic super welterweight champion.

The former Elgin Amateur Boxing Club fighter took on home favourite Dean Sutherland at Aberdeen’s Beach Ballroom on Saturday.

The bout was also an eliminator for the British super welterweight title next year.

After 10 wins and one defeat in his first 11 professional bouts, Wilkinson suffered defeat number two at the hands of the more experienced Granite City man.

Sutherland won by a fourth round knock-out after putting Wilkinson on the canvas three times in the bout.

It was the Aberdonian’s 20th pro fight, and his 19th victory.

He retained his Celtic belt and will now go for Commonwealth and British title glory.
