Fighting for the first time since October last year, Lewis Ritson (22-1) went head to head with experienced campaigner, and former world champion, Miguel Vázquez (42-10), earning himself a somewhat unconvincing split-decision over 12 rounds.
Vázquez gave Ritson a tough night despite having had just two wins from his previous five fights and having many miles on his clock.
Ritson was unable to make a dent in Vázquez who boxed well on the back foot and gave the Newcastle man plenty to think about in every round.
The judges were split in their opinions, scoring it 116-113 Vasquez, 117-111 Ritson and 115-113 Ritson, and they weren't the only ones who couldn't agree on a victor. While some onlookers on social media felt Ritson had done enough to steal the fight, Matchroom boss, Eddie Hearn, took to Twitter to announce that he thought Vázquez had edged it.
