Harlem Eubank secures a 10th-round stoppage against Tyrone McKenna, while Michael Conlan returns to the ring with a solid victory in the co-main event.

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.

McKenna's Resilience Tested

The bout began cautiously, with McKenna utilizing his height and reach advantages to keep Eubank at bay. However, Eubank's speed and precision began to show in the third round, as he managed to close the distance and take control of the fight. 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. This win sets Conlan up for a future challenge for the European featherweight title. Under the guidance of new coach Grant Smith, Conlan showed glimpses of his old form, despite not being at his peak.

McKenna's Durability and Eubank's Precision

McKenna, known for his durability, managed to stay in the fight despite several knockdowns. However, Eubank's relentless pressure and precise striking proved too much. A low blow in the 10th round gave McKenna a brief respite, but Eubank quickly regained control, leading to the final knockdown that prompted the referee to stop the fight.

Looking Ahead

With this victory, Eubank positions himself for a potential title shot, while Conlan looks to build on this win as he aims for the European featherweight title. Both fighters showcased their skills and determination, leaving fans eager for their next bouts.
