Shakur Stevenson (23-0, 11 KOs) proved that Josh Padley (15-1, 4 KOs) was no match for him by stopping him in nine rounds. The official time of stoppage was 3:00.

Shakur Stevenson knocked out Josh Padely after dropping him three times in the ninth round to remain the WBC Lightweight Champion. Padley was a late replacement after Floyd Schofield withdrew with an illness.

Josh Padley, who before this week was largely unknown outside of British boxing circles, has said he can "definitely" beat lightweight world champion Shakur Stevenson on Saturday.
