Sam Sexton retained his heavyweight title by ending Rogan’s dream at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast.
Rogan produced a brave display and was in front in the fifth round but was pulled out by his own corner after Sexton dominated the sixth round with some heavy devastating and cleaner hand work.
For the 25-year-old Norwich fighter, it was his 13th win in 14 fights as he defeated Rogan for the second time.
After a brutal contest, Rogan said that he had been hampered by a neck injury which he had sustained in his last fight.
Is this the end for the brave 38 year-old Martin Rogan?
