Ben Whittaker vs. Benjamin Gavazi – results and post-fight report
On Saturday in Birmingham, Ben Whittaker stormed past Benjamin Gavazi to a first-round knockout.
Whittaker (10-0-1, 7 KO) defeated Gavazi (19-2, 13 KO) and shortly thereafter pounced on the German, knocking him down with a brutal right hand at the National Exhibition Center.
“The Surgeon,” the 2020 Olympic silver medalist, debuted with Eddie HearnMatchroom Boxing after leaving BOXXER Ben Shalom and was accompanied to the ring by rapper Dizzee Rascal in a dramatic walk around the ring.
A 28-year-old who he demolished Liam Cameron in two rounds in the April rematch, they knocked the guy down after landing, hitting him in the head and body.
The West Bromwich favorite didn’t let Gavazi off the hook and, after putting him on shaky feet with a left-right combination, Whittaker detonated with a stunning right hand that floored the 30-year-old.
Whittaker had secured the WBC Silver delicate heavyweight crown and was getting closer to a chance to fight WBC world champion David Benavidez.
Bowen stunned by Cowling
Aaron Bowen suffered a shock first professional defeat as Tom Cowling rose to the top to produce a thriller.
Bowen (7-1, 5 KO) knocked down Cowling (15-1, 4 KO) in the fifth round with a forceful right hand punch, but the fighter from Nottinghamshire responded well, stunning the 26-year-old several times.

Bowen watched his feat as both men pulled away in a wild final round and the fight was on the scorecards.
The score of 96-93 in favor of the Coventry fighter was overshadowed by two scores of 95-94 for Cowling, who deservedly won the vacant Midlands Area middleweight title at his second attempt.
Vuong-Wynne drew in the return match
In the rematch, Cameron Vuong and Gavin Gwynne tied in majority votes.
Vuong (9-0-1, 4 KO) scored a close victory over his Welsh rival in the first match last November, also in Birmingham.
‘The One’ had the best of the early exchanges, moving well in attack and beating the Welshman.
However, in the second half of the fight, Gwynne (18-4-2, 5 KO) turned on strongly, putting constant pressure on the 23-year-old, who was struggling throughout the entire episode.
Both men went deep into the fight, feeling the fight was close, and the score reflected that.
The score of 97-93 in Vuong’s favor was overturned by two scores of 95-95, declaring the fight a stalemate and meaning neither fighter walked away with the vacant WBO Intercontinental lightweight belt that was at stake.
McCann defeats Cotton
Molly McCann secured her second professional victory since leaving the UFC, defeating Ebonie Cotton on points in a super bantamweight bout.
Cotton (1-1) was shut down after a fourth-round header, and McCann (2-0, 1 KO) finished his dominant performance with a score of 58-56.
Undercard remaining
Ibraheem Sulaimaan (10-0, 5 KO) won the vacant Midlands super featherweight title by defeating Nico Ogbeide (6-2-1) in the sixth round.
Former world title challenger Zelfa Barrett (34-3, 18 KO) won her third victory in a row, defeating Liam Dillon (15-5-1, 3 KO) on points.

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.
Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.
Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.
Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.
Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.
The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.
The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.
McKean meets Taliva
Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.
McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.

The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.
Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
