CHICAGO – Canadian boxer Arash Usmanee lost a close fight to Yakup Kilic of Turkey on Tuesday at the World Amateur Boxing Championships.
Kilic held on for a 20-19 win over Usmanee in their 57-kilogram featherweight fight.
Usmanee outscored Kilic 10-2 in the fourth round, but the strong finish was not enough for the Red Deer, Alta., native to secure a victory.
In other Canadian results, Kevin Bizier of St. Emile, Que., was defeated by Kazakhstan’s Serik Sapiyev in the 64-kilogram light welterweight fight.
The contest was stopped by the referee after Bizier, who defeated Zakou Moussa of Nigeria 17-7 on Friday, was outscored 30-10 by the end of the third round.
