Vasyl Lomachenko vs Luke Campbell undercard: Watch as Belfast boxer James Tennyson lands huge knockout win

James Tennyson claimed a brutal knockout win on the undercard of Vasily Lomanchenko vs Luke Campbell at the O2 Arena on Saturday.

The Belfast boxer was taking on Rotherham's Atif Shafiq for the WBA Lightweight International title.

Tennyson is renowned for his punch power, and he showcased it once again in the second round.

The Kronk-based fighter went on the offensive, pinning Shafiq back on the ropes.

And when a trademark left hook landed it was lights out.

Tennyson has now bagged three stoppage wins on the bounce since losing out in his super-featherweight World title clash with Tevin Farmer last year.

Tennyson, who has now won titles at three different weight divisions, said on his Facebook page: "AND THE NEWW!! What a feeling and what a win!

"Massive thank you to everyone for their support and messages. Got the win in good style and thankfully my opponent is in good health which is the most important thing!

"Big thank you to all my sponsors who play a big part in getting me here today."
