Leon McKenzie took just 43 seconds to score his biggest boxing success so far.
The former Premier League striker blasted Kelvin Young out in less than a minute on Saturday night to take his unbeaten record to 8-0-1-KO4 at the age of 37.
McKenzie's combination of a hard right and a cracking left hook proved too much for Young, who went down on both knees before referee Terry O'Connor called an end to the Copper Box Arena bout.
It was the biggest win of McKenzie's boxing career so far and means he will now get a shot at the English super-middleweight title, currently held by Jahmaine Smyle.
He did what we have been practicing in training. I am very proud of him.
"Enough respect to Kelvin, he conducted himself as a proper professional should and I wish him all the best," said McKenzie.
"I want to say thanks to all my fans who have supported me from day one, but now we are rocking and rolling."
McKenzie can now follow in the footsteps of another former Premier League footballer, Curtis Woodhouse, who won the British super-lightweight title last year.
McKenzie's father and trainer, Clinton, held British and European titles between 1978 and 1989, while oldest uncle, politician Winston, was also professional fighter and his other uncle, the iconic Duke, was a three-weight world champion at fly, bantam and super-bantamweight between 1988 and 1992.
"He did what we have been practicing in training," Clinton told Sky Sports. "He took him apart. I am very proud of him, he did what he was supposed to do."
