This isn’t a horrible first defence of Yafai’s European title though it’s certainly not a fight i’m particularly excited about. Yafai got his career back on track by winning the European Super Bantamweight title in Italy last year. Jason Cunningham has had a few tune up fights since his loss to Michael Conlan in 2018 but hasn’t really done much since.

I think Yafai should have too much power and technical ability at this stage as Cunningham is coming off a long lay off and normally loses when he steps up to this level. Yafai will win by knockout in the second half of the fight.
