Chris Billam-Smith

CHRIS Billam-Smith admitted he had never floored anyone quite like he had knocked out Armend Xhoxhaj on Saturday and declared: “I'm going to win…

“But then I went back to the corner, knew I was fine.

British cruiserweight Chris Billam-Smith delivered an astonishing knockout one minute and 52 seconds into the 5th round of his fight against explosive.

However, the Newcastle native showed strong composure and shot-selection to land a ferocious left hook to the temple of Campbell early in the fourth round that sent him tumbling to the canvas. McKinson will now look to the very top of the UK’s Welterweight division for opponent’s, having tonight shown that he’s earned his place there. The fight was fought at long range for large swathes of the fight, but Gibbs and First both were happy to trade as they tied up and fire off any short shots they could. 41-year-old Jimmy First took an upset points victory over Cori Gibbs in a fight that was scored a draw before point deductions due to a troublesome gum shield for Gibbs. Dubois has looked utterly unstoppable in the four fights she’s won by stoppage since her professional debut, and took another step up in this fight that she showed herself to be more than equal too. British Light Heavyweight Champion Dan Azeez claimed the Commonwealth Championship with his confident, controlled performance to wear down and stop Rocky Fielding in eight rounds.
