BRIDGWATER boxing star Teaken Prior suffered a narrow points defeat to German champion Kuprenco.

The fight showed both boxers outstanding talent, but it was Kuprenco who was victorious in a high-quality affair.

Teaken said: “It was an amazing experience, I enjoyed every minute of it.

“I am very proud to have been invited to Germany to fight their national champion.

“I felt I didn't box my best on the day, but a rematch with Kuprenco here in the UK would be fantastic.

“I would like to thank everyone who has supported me during my training for this fight.
