Charlie Edwards has defended his WBC flyweight title with a comfortable points victory over Angel Moreno.
Edwards produced a masterful performance to take the title from Cristofer Rosales last December in his 15th professional fight and produced a similarly polished display at the Copper Box Arena on Saturday.
The Londoner calmly picked off his opponent with his superb jab, effectively wearing down the Spaniard who struggled to get close to the champion.
Edwards was read the riot act by his corner after a spot of showboating in the fourth round but refocused to seal a comfortable victory on the cards, with Moreno lacking the power or poise to truly trouble his opponent.
On the undercard, Joshua Buatsi enhanced his already burgeoning career with another polished performance, beating Liam Conroy to win the British lightweight title.
The Croydon fighter made it a perfect 10 as a professional, forcing the stoppage in the third round with a shuddering right hook.
Earlier in the evening, Lawrence Okolie recorded his 12th professional victory, extending his unbeaten record against fellow Londoner Wadi Camacho.
The Hackney-born cruiserweight was tagged with a strong left hook in the third round but kept his promise of ending the fight early, rocking Camacho with a vicious flurry in the fourth with the referee stepping in to end the contest shortly after.
Watford’s Shannon Courtenay meanwhile marked her professional debut with victory over Cristina Busuioc, sealing a unanimous points decision after comfortably winning every round against her Romanian opponent.
