The unification bout for four super bantamweight titles lasted less than one round as Liam Davies flattened Jason Cunningham in the first round and forced the referee to call the fight.
Liam Davies and Jason Cunningham met at the Telford International Centre with four belts on the line on Saturday night and it took the former less than a round to win.
The British super-bantamweight, EBU European super bantamweight and WBC International super bantamweight and WBO International super bantamweight belts all now belong to Davies after he floored Cunningham and never looked back.
There had been a bitter war of words in the lead up to the fight with but it proved to be a very, very easy challenge for Davies in the end.
"I feel like I've got better as time has gone on. I've dedicated my life to boxing, giving it everything and now I'm reaping the rewards. But for me this isn't enough, I want more, I want to bring a world title back to Telford," Davies said, according to Boxing Scene.
"I know a world title fight is difficult at the minute but I'll keep ticking over and now maybe I'll fight Denis McCann next if it's there.
"People could say I'm not ready yet and I could understand that but I just want to prove that I'm ready. I want someone in the top 5. My improvement is not questionable.
"I want Marlon Tapales but I think he's going to fight Inoue. If not I want the Sam Goodman fight."
