At featherweight Irish prospect Michael Conlan improved to 10-0-(6),by securing a 98-92,97-92 and 97-92 points win over Jason Cunningham,24-6-(6). Conlan very nearly got the stoppage in the 10^th round Cunningham showed great resilience to make to the final bell.

Liam Williams, 19-2-1-(14), impressed by stopping the previously unbeaten Mark Heffron, 21-1-(17), in the 10^th round to claim the vacant British middleweight title. Heffron was down in the 10^th before the fight was stopped after 1.55.
