ACCRINGTON boxer Luke Blackledge tonight saw his unbeaten record come to an end as Erik Skoglund secured a narrow points victory in the Danish town of Frederikshavn.

And the 22-year-old was beaten in the light heavyweight bout over 10 rounds, following a unanimous decision.
Skoglund won the fight 96-95, 97-93 and 96-94 on the scorecards.
Blackledge had won 13 and drawn one of his previous 14 fights.
