Headlining in his hometown for the first time in over eight years, the ‘Ferocious’ former Undisputed Lightweight king introduced himself to the 140lb division in style as he displayed his elite level class throughout, winning the scorecards at 117-111, 117-111 and 115-113.

Australian National Champion Wyllie, who stepped in to replace injured original opponent Daud Yordan at under a week’s notice, did incredibly well to stand-toe-to-toe with the former Undisputed Lightweight king, however, and revelled in his ‘Rocky’ moment.
