Sultan was a late replacement oppoent, seeing as the WBO Champion John Riel Casemiro was removed from the bout following a breach of medical policy. The WBO have yet to confirm whether Casemiro will be stripped and Butler potentially being upgraded to full champion.

The fight was a high paced, action packed bout. However, Butler nullified Sultan's early work to pick up the victory, with the scorecards reading 116-112, 118-110 and 117-111, all in Butlers favour.

Following the bout, Butler expressed his delight: "I had 48 hours to get a game plan together. It's unbelievable. What a feeling. I've waited a long time to become a two-time world champion,

Butler has strung eight wins in a row together since his last loss, and with the potential of being upgraded to super champion, this win could unlock doors to mega fights.

The undercard saw Sam Maxwell unsuccessful in his challenge for the IBO Super Lightweight title against Alejandro Meneses as Maxwell was stopped in the ninth round of a thrilling fight.
