HASIM RAHMAN held onto his WBC heavyweight title after a majority draw with James Toney in Atlantic City.

Rahman was rated a 117-111 winner by one judge, but the other two had it 114-114, following 12 closely fought rounds with no knockdowns.

"I'm the champ, I won the bout clean," said Rahman. "If we fight again we will make adjustments and do better."

Neither fighter scored a knockdown in the fight, which saw lots of action at close quarters and Rahman taking the fight to the challenger.

Toney threw fewer punches but landed the cleaner shots.
