Fabio Wardley achieved the biggest win of his career by stopping Joseph Parker, setting himself up for a world title shot against Oleksandr Usyk.
In a thrilling contest at the O2 Arena, Wardley demonstrated his toughness by withstanding several huge punches from Parker before forcing the referee to stop the bout in the 11th round.
The WBO had ordered Parker to face Usyk in July, but Parker put his mandatory challenger status on the line against Wardley.
Parker had promised to be a "different level" to the 30-year-old Wardley, and this seemed to be the case for much of the bout in London.
