Sunday 17 April 2016 00:36, UK
Isaac Chamberlain won the battle of the unbeaten cruiserweight prospects with a sixth-round stoppage against Russ Henshaw on Saturday night.
The 22-year-old star of Sky Sports 'Straight Out Of Brixton' put 'Relentless' down in the first round in an explosive start but held on in a real toe-to-toe scrap to see whose '0' wouldn't go.
Chamberlain produced the harder and more accurate shots but Henshaw fought back before it came to an end in the sixth as the referee stepped in after a flourish of punches saw the Londoner go to 5-0 with his first stoppage win.
The night started badly for super-lightweight Dave Ryan, whose opponent Martin Haikali - who failed to make the weight on Friday - was taken to hospital, meaning their fight was off the Leeds bill.
Before that though, light-heavyweight prospect Jake Ball moved to 5-0 but was forced to go the distance for the first time.
The Surrey star dominated Colin Farricker for the full six rounds, but a patient approach and a dogged and determined response from the Liverpudlian put him through his paces, before a 58-56 success.
Jeff Saunders, the younger brother of Bradley, also extended his unbeaten record by going the distance against Mark McKray. The Geordie welterweight moved to 7-0 after another six one-sided rounds.
Featherweight Reece Mould opened his professional account by stopping Phil Hervey, the referee calling a halt after several hard rights meant it was a question of when, not if, the Doncaster man would win.
Darren Tetley moved to 11-0 with a typically impressive success over Casey Blair, the Bradford southpaw winning over the six rounds and there was a points win for Maxi Hughes against Michael Mooney.
Young super-middleweight Daryl Baptiste suffered a second defeat with local man Adam Jones (6-14-4-KO1) securing a rare win in the fifth, leaving the man from Lincoln with two losses in his six pro fights so far.
