    Lawrence Okolie: Briton stops Hussein Muhamed in round one of heavyweight debut

    Published on

    In the main event, Denzel Bentley won the British and European middleweight titles and remained on course for a second world-title shot by outpointing Brad Pauls.

    Bentley edged a competitive back-and-forth encounter and dropped Pauls in the 10th round with a seemingly innocuous jab.

    Pauls was well supported with chants of ‘Newquay Bomb’ by his travelling Cornwall contingency, though there were a number of empty seats in the arena, presumably some fans who may have considered buying a ticket on the door put off by Storm Darragh.

    All three judges scored it in favour of Bentley, who is still the number one challenger for WBO champion Janibek Alimkhanuly, having lost to the Kazakhstani in 2022.

    Earlier in the night, David Adeleye sent a message to other British heavyweights with a stunning first-round stoppage win over the previously undefeated Solomon Dacres.

    Joe Joyce and 2024 Team GB Olympian Delicious Orie watched from ringside as Adeleye unleashed a powerful lead left hook one minute and 20 seconds into the contest.

    The punch skimmed Dacres’ head but appeared to scramble his senses as he crashed heavily into the ropes and to the canvas.

    British and Commonwealth lightweight champion Sam Noakes continued his undefeated record with a dominant unanimous decision win over Ryan Walsh, after brother Sean Noakes had outpointed Matthew Rennie.
