The result split opinions after all three judges awarded Sykes the victory, despite many at ringside and watching at home believing Coyle had edged the contest.

Coyle says he has no arguments with the result, and admits he failed to produce his best on the night, but he is determined to turn the loss into a positive.

"I have to pull myself up from this and what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, so I'll be stronger for it," Coyle told the Mail.

"I have no arguments with the result, it could have gone either way. I thought I'd won the last two rounds, but Gary definitely won the first round and in Prizefighter you have to win the first round and make a good start, I didn't do that.

"The disappointment is as much because I didn't box how I can, but I'll learn from it."
