Meanwhile former super-middleweight world champion Rocky “From Stocky” Fielding returned to light heavyweight after two years out with a second round TKO over Emmanuel Danso Fielding dropped Danso in round two and Danso didn’t come out for round three.
Also, Flyweight Muhammad Waseem claimed the WBC silver title with a hard fought twelve round unanimous decision over Rober Barrera. Scores were 115-113, 115-114, 117-111.
In a bout that was announced as a WBA super lightweight eliminator, Golden Contract winner Ohara Davies outworked late sub-Nicholas Mwangi over ten workmanlike rounds. Scores were 99-91 3x. Davies was originally slated to face Ismael Barroso for the WBA gold title, but Barroso couldn’t get into the country.
