Karol Itauma def. Vladimir Belujsky via TKO, R8
Light-heavyweight Karol Itauma made it another British victory with a dominant win over Slovakian Vladimir Belujsky.
Itauma, who made it 9-0 with an impressive performance, repeatedly landed jabs and defended comfortably against his opponent.
It was a measured performance up until the seventh round of eight, when the 22-year-old unleashed a flurry of shots on Belujsky, who fell but was able to regain his feet before he was counted out.
In the final round, though, it was too much for Belujsky, who could do no more than protect himself from Itauma’s relentless assault.
The referee stopped the fight before the final bell to bring to an end a one-sided contest.
Royson Barney-Smith def. Cruz Perez via TKO, R1
Another eye-catching performance from talented teenager Royson Barney-Smith saw him beat Nicaraguan Cruz Perez inside a minute in the first fight of the night.
After a few seconds of sparring, the Brit landed a powerful left-handed punch, which knocked Perez to the ground.
The referee wasted little time in stopping the contest as Perez attempted to scramble to his feet, and with that Barney-Smith earned his fourth victory of the year.
