Aloys Youmbi Decisions Sherif Musah
Aloys Youmbi returned from a year outside the ring with a 10-round decision over late replacement Sherif Musah. The cruiserweight initially struggled with the change in opponent after preparing for southpaw Mike Perez. Musah’s orthodox stance, forward pressure and clinching dragged Youmbi into an awkward inside fight, where several of his early right hands missed the target. Youmbi eventually corrected his footwork and found success with short hooks while leaving the clinches. Musah denied him the crowd-pleasing knockout, but Youmbi was never seriously troubled and controlled enough rounds to earn the decision.
Tony Curtis Defeats Imad Naseeb by Points
Tony Curtis controlled the six-rounder with his jab, hand speed and longer reach, keeping Imad Naseeb from settling into effective punching range. Naseeb tried to force his way inside but spent too much of the fight following Curtis without landing enough clean work. Curtis remained composed, dictated where the exchanges took place and collected the referee’s decision.
Frankie Wood Stops Callum Lee in Round Six
Frankie Wood broke through in the final round after Callum Lee had made him work for the victory.

Sam King Outpoints Jack Swallow
Sam King used his size and steadier work rate to take a six-round points decision over Jack Swallow.

Zayn Ahmed Stops Liam Fitzmaurice in Round Two
Zayn Ahmed made quick work of Liam Fitzmaurice, forcing the stoppage during the second round of their scheduled four-round bout. Ahmed took command early and did not allow Fitzmaurice’s greater professional experience to turn the contest into a prolonged affair. The result was the most predictable of the opening bouts, with Fitzmaurice suffering his 20th consecutive defeat.
Hassan Ishaq Decisions Enzo Bahiano Munoz
