Eubank Secures Victory in a Thrilling Bout

Harlem Eubank demonstrated his prowess in the ring with a commanding performance against Tyrone McKenna, securing a 10th-round stoppage to claim the IBF Inter-continental welterweight title. The fight, held in Eubank's hometown of Brighton, saw the 31-year-old fighter maintain his perfect record, now standing at 20-0.

By the fourth round, Eubank's confidence was evident, landing a powerful right hand that set the tone for the rest of the match.

Conlan Returns with a Win

In the co-main event, Michael Conlan made a successful return to the ring after a 15-month hiatus, defeating Asad Asif Khan with a 78-74 points victory.
