JEAMIE TKV is the new British heavyweight champion after shocking Frazer Clarke in his backyard.
The 32-year-old Tottenham man went up to Derby to face the Burton-on-Trent Olympian and dominated him.
Judge Terry O’Connor curiously scored it to Clarke.
But thankfully the other two watched the same fight as the gutted home crowd and new BBC Two audience.
And – after a build-up full of bad blood – instead of ending the rivalry on good terms, TKV got a couple of extra digs in after the bell.
After winning the split decision – even after having a point deducted in the third – TKV said: “It feels amazing.

“It was my second shot at the title but it felt like my first defence.
“I whooped him in his own backyard.
“I knew he would hold but he was blowing in the first 30 seconds, he thought we were only doing three rounds but we are not in the Olympics any more.
“I even had a point taken off and I still got the win.”
Clarke slipped out of the ring without being interviewed but – having won only one of his last four – he must now consider his future.
TKV did give a comeback option, saying: “ We can do a rematch if he wants it but back in my London.”
Unified world champion Ellie Scotney admitted she feared Clarke could have been pulled out in the 11th round.
She told the BBC: “I believe the judges got it right, I had Jeamie up by two.
“Both fighters got the assignment today for the first fight back on the BBC, it was… wow!
“I wouldn’t have been surprised if they pulled Frazer out in round 11 because there was a lot of shots that he didn’t need to take.
“Hats off to both fighters, they fully delivered.”
