Welterweight George Hennon stole the show at the York Hall on Saturday with a first-ever career stoppage. The Maidstone fighter stopped Bulgarian Teodor Nikolov in the fourth of a scheduled six-round bout in front of a raucous support.

Hennon was up against a mobile opponent as the Kent fighter looked to cut off the ring. Nikolov was competent and clever and threw shots at the right time to upset Hennon’s rhythm.

However in round three an uppercut, followed by a body shot, resulted in Nikolov going down on one knee, but he was back on his feet again and was saved by the bell.

In the fourth a good body shot landed from Hennon in his home corner looked like it hurt the Bulgarian, but he battled on until Hennon, 28, lined up a long-ranging straight right hand to the chin of Nikolov that downed him for the second time.
