Kid Galahad’s dream of becoming World Champion was finally realized as he produced a stunning effort to defeat Jazza Dickens and claim the IBF Featherweight crown at the top of the bill on Matchroom Fight Camp Week 2 in Brentwood, Essex, live worldwide on DAZN.
In an all-out heavyweight slugfest/war/brawl, Alen Babic stopped a gutsy Mark Bennett after five incredible rounds tonight at Matchroom HQ. Babic, known as “The Savage,” did what he always did, and that’s come out like a train and sling out non-stop leather.
Kid Galahad (28-1, 17 KOs) was like a human buzzsaw in throwing 1000 punches to stop the game but limited James ‘Jazza’ Dickens (30-4, 11 KOs) at the end of the 11th round on Saturday night to win the vacant IBF World featherweight title at the Matchroom Headquarters in Brentwood, Essex, England.
He may be far from the best or most skilled heavyweight in the world right now, but Alen “The Savage” Babic is fast becoming the most consistently exciting heavyweight slugger on the scene.
Eddie Hearn was pretty excited last Saturday night about his heavyweight prospects Alen Babic (6-0, 6 KOs) and Fabio Wardley (10-0, 9 KOs), after the two of them scored impressive knockouts in their respective fights at the Wembley Arena in London, UK.
Tonight on the Wembley card topped by the Benn-Formella fight, heavyweight slugger Alen Babic picked up another exciting win. The unbeaten Croatian known as “The Savage” stopped a game Tom Little in the third round to improve to 6-0(6).
CONOR BENN UD10 (100-91, 99-91, 99-92) v SEBASTIAN FORMELLA
Conor Benn produced a career-best performance as he dominated Sebastian Formella for ten rounds to retain his WBA Continental Welterweight Title.
He’s raw; he’s crude and, according to his critics, he’s going to lose as soon as he takes a significant step up in class.
