The co-main event saw British heavyweight prospect, David "The White Rhino" Wardley, make a resounding statement, scoring a brutal knockout victory over Irish contender, Tommy Clarke.
Wardley, known for his powerful left hook, put Clarke on the canvas early in the second round with a thunderous blow. Clarke, visibly stunned, struggled to regain his composure. However, his resilience was short-lived as Wardley unleashed another devastating left hook, sending Clarke crashing to the canvas once again.
This time, Clarke was unable to beat the count, giving Wardley a resounding knockout victory and solidifying his place as a rising force in the heavyweight division.
A Night of Heavyweight Action:
The night was filled with other exciting heavyweight bouts. These fights showcased the raw power and intensity that the division is known for, with several knockdowns and dramatic exchanges.
Looking Ahead:
Both Beterbiev and Wardley are now poised for even bigger challenges. Beterbiev's victory has further cemented his status as a dominant force in the light heavyweight division, and a unification bout with the other champions in the division is likely on the horizon.
