JACK BISHOP has been in boxing for more than 60 years - but has never been so angry.

The 81-year-old Southampton fight trainer claims his fighter Dimitry Donetskiy was robbed of victory against Turkey's Gokhan Kazaz on Friday night.

Bishop, pictured right, will be firing off a letter of official complaint to the British Boxing Board of Control about the events surrounding Donetskiy's fourth round stoppage on cuts at Bethnal Green's York Hall.

He is upset that:

Donetskiy's opponent weighed-in heavier than expected.

The fight was apparently a six-rounder when he thought it was four.

Low blows from Kazaz were not dealt with more severely.

The fight could have been allowed to continue.

Bishop, who was involved in heated exchanges with officials after the bout, is calling for an immediate rematch and has insisted that Friday's fight should be declared a no-contest.

He said: "I am disgusted by what happened. I don't think this sort of thing would have happened years ago.

"It has left a really nasty taste in the mouth and I feel very disillusioned about the sport right now."

From the outset, Bishop was concerned at the way his camp were being treated.

He reluctantly went along with the fight even though Kazaz was some five pounds heavier than Donetskiy.

Bishop insists that he was then told several times in the minutes leading up to the bout that it would be a four-round fight.

He prepared Donetskiy accordingly and with just seconds remaining felt his boxer was about to inflict a first defeat on Kazaz's seven-fight professional record.

"Dimi was boxing brilliantly and pushing him back," said Bishop.

"Kazaz was trying to rough him up and there were quite a few low blows, but Dimi just carried on. I sent him out for the fourth telling him to give it his all and he was doing beautifully until he got cut.

"It was a bad cut, but the blood was not impeding his vision at all. There was less than a minute to go so I thought we would be OK and then the ref has just stopped it.

"I was screaming at him that it was the last round and to let it finish as Dimi was winning and then he turned round and said that it was a six-round fight.

"It was ridiculous, because if I had known that I would have given Dimi different instructions."

Unless Bishop can somehow get the outcome overturned, it will go down as Donetskiy's second defeat in four fights.

"It's Dimi I feel sorry for," added Bishop.

"He has got the heart of a lion and really didn't deserve to lose. We do not think what happened was right."
