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 significant punches from Parker before the referee, Howard Foster, stopped the bout in the 11th round.
Parker had promised to be a "different level" to the 30-year-old Wardley.
The WBO had initially ordered Parker to face Usyk in July, but Parker chose to put his mandatory challenger status on the line against Wardley instead.
