2016 Olympic light bronze medalist and WBA #5 rated light heavyweight Joshua Buatsi (10-0, 8 KOs) snatched the vacant British title with a third round Stoppage of tough Liam Conroy (16-4-1, 8 KOs) on Saturday night at the Copper Box Arena in London. Buatsi dropped Conroy twice in the third at a time when the gallant underdog looked willing to engage.. Conroy didn’t argue the stoppage.. The performance was possibly Joshua’s most spiteful performance, showing a cold merciless conclusion at exactly the moment he chose..
Undefeated 2016 Heavyweight Olympian, Lawrence Okolie (12-0, 9 KOs) now highly ranked and touted at cruiserweight, scored a fourth round KO over the experienced yet overmatched Wadi Camacho (21-8, 12 KOs) in a clash for Camacho’s Commonwealth title. Okolie dropped Camacho with a right hand, following a quick flurry, then finished him with clinical shots seconds later.. The long limbed Okolie did walk onto a huge right hand in the second, but had far too many natural advantages over Camacho.. Okolie showed an interest in fighting for a vacant version of the world title within his next couple of fights, possibly against rugged warhorse Dennis Lebedev..
Returning from his sole loss, this time up at super lightweight, Lewis Ritson (18-1, 11 KOs) Went to the wire with Argentinian, German Benitez (21-4, 9 KOs) winning a ten round unanimous decision on three extremely distorted scorecards of 99-91, 98-92, 98-92.
Benitez brought more than Ritson had bargained for and looked to have ran it within a point on many ringsiders scorecards..
Promoter Eddie Hearn, Matchroom..
