Kerr shocked the field by edging out Olympic champion and pre-race favorite Jakob Ingebrigtsen of Norway in a thrilling finish.
Kerr, who finished with a time of 3:29.25, became the first British man to win a world title in the 1500m since 1983.

Ingebrigtsen took silver with a time of 3:29.47, while Kipsang settled for bronze in 3:29.56.
