Rhys Davies was a happy man on Friday night.
The 27-year-old Coventry cruiserweight extended his unbeaten run to six (five wins and a draw) and recorded his first stoppage as a paid fighter, pummeling durable Verban Borisov to defeat in three rounds.
Davies is being maneuvered towards a crack at the Midland Area 14st belt (a title that has been vacant since Rugby's Carl Wright wore it in 2005) and a ferocious display of body punching knocked the resistance out of the sturdy Bulgarian, who'd only been halted quickly once in five entering, at a packed Bedworth Civic Hall.
A thumping right uppercut set about the end, with referee Rob Chalmers diving in as the 29-year-old Eastern European import slumped to the floor under an avalanche of punches from the self-styled 'Chocolate Warrior', whose twin brother, recent Prizefighter competitor Llewy, is recovering from an operation on his shoulder.
He'd predicted an early night before the contest and is now penciled in to return to action on May 23.
Afterwards, well-muscled, hammer-fisted Rhys said: "I told my mum before i would knock him out in the third. I didn't let her down."
