'The Hitter' brushes aside Castro at York Hall
Junior Witter returned to the ring in style as he got his career back on track with a third-round knockout of Victor Hugo Castro at York Hall in Bethnal Green.
It was the 34-year-old Bradford-born fighter's first bout since he lost his WBC world light-welterweight belt to American Timothy Bradley in May.
Witter was on top from the off and he had Castro on the canvas in the second round with a powerful left hook to the body.
It looked like it may be over there and then but the Argentinean staggered to his feet and the bell saved him temporarily.
Destroy
But the onslaught continued in the next round and this time Castro stayed on the floor, for only the second time in his career, to hand Witter a dominant victory.
Witter, who improved his record to 37 wins from 39 fights, is in negotiations to secure a rematch with Bradley and is also planning to challenge WBA champion Andreas Kotelnik.
Witter told
ITV4: "This is what I do, I destroy people. I'm back and I'll be world champion soon.
"I saw one video of him and I went out there and did exactly what I thought I would.
"I will be two-time world champion, I'm sure."
