Englands Kal Yafai, who won a vacant junior bantamweight world title with a one-sided decision against Luis Concepcion on Saturday at Manchester Arena, in Manchester, England, could not quite believe what he had accomplished.Its unbelievable, Yafai said. Its going to take a while to sink in. I knew I was going to do it, it was just a matter of how. I just did what I needed to do, got through it. I still feel that I have a lot more in me and plenty more to give. This win will take me up to another level now.Yafai did what several fighters from Birmingham, England, have been unable to do, including middleweight Matthew Macklin and welterweight Frankie Gavin in recent years, which is to become his citys first world titleholder in the 109 years since Owen Moran won a 20-round decision against Al Delmont to win what many recognized as the bantamweight world title in 1907.Yafai (21-0, 14 KOs), 27, easily outpointed Concepcion (35-5, 24 KOs), 31, of Panama, on the Anthony Joshua-Eric Molina undercard to claim the vacant belt one day after an overweight Concepcion was stripped of the belt. He weighed in at 117? pounds, 2? over the division limit.Yafai went on to win easily as he knocked Concepcion on his rear end with a left hand in the 10th round and prevailed 120-108, 119-108 and 117-110 on the judges scorecards. I always knew I was capable of a win like that, Yafai said. I really didnt think he was that great in there. I felt from round one that I was winning the rounds comfortably, doing what I needed to do and making sure that I haad plenty in the tank in the championship rounds.dddddddddddd.He was tough and physical, but he wasnt as strong as I thought he would be on the inside, and he didnt punch as hard as I thought he would. He had decent power, but not the power that I thought he would.Yafai, who represented Great Britain in the 2008 Olympics, said the pro world title makes up for not winning a medal.Every Olympian and Olympic champion wants to become a world champion, he said. I missed out on the [medal at the] Olympics, but this is amazing. And Ive had a great payday, but this is more than any payday you could ever give me.I could have been moved quicker, really. Ive had injuries, and weve had to wait for the big fights. I think it has come at the right time, though, and the proof was in the win. Ive boxed a [former] world champion, and Ive won very comfortably. I feel that I won near enough every round. I did a lot of good things, but I did some bad things. But Ill correct them and get back in the gym after Christmas.Yafai came out of the fight with sore hands but said he looks forward to the day in the not-too-distant future when he can defend his 115-pound world title at home.I cant wait to headline in Birmingham as a world champion, he said. My hands are a bit sore, so I might be out for a little bit. But the second I can get in the gym I will be back working and getting ready to defend this belt for the first time.
