Paulus “The Hitman” Moses retained his WBA lightweight title when he convincingly beat Takehiro Shimada on points at the Windhoek Country Club on Saturday night.

After a tentative start, Moses started landing his jab and some solid combinations by the third round although Shimada also got on some stiff hooks to the body.
