Tommy Fury made light work of Anthony Taylor after outclassing the boxing novice over four rounds.
The knockout didn’t come, though that might be a blessing in disguise and tempt Jake Paul into taking a fight against the former Love Island star next.
Fury, on his US debut, immediately established the jab against Taylor, a sparring partner of the YouTube star, with his frame too big and strong to ever encounter trouble.
The knockout was hard to find though, with Taylor’s small target and slippery, safe style enough to see him see the final bell.
Elsewhere Daniel Dubois knocked out Joe Cusumano to make it two wins for the Britons on their US debuts.
“Let’s get it on Jake, I’ve done my bit, you do your bit.” said Fury after his win. “It should be easy enough for him, I went four rounds with his sparring partner. I’m a seven-fight novice in the gym, nowhere near the finished article.
“I thank you so much for having me. Of course [I was nervous], getting in there and fighting, fight by fight I’m learning, we’ll get there, slowly but surely.
“It wasn’t my best performance. I’m getting better, I’m trying my best. Looking at that, Jake should have an easy night, there are no excuses, I want you next you bum, let’s get it on.”
