Willo Hayden KO-2 vs Michael Walton

Karol Ituama TKO-3 vs Jiri Kroupa
Chatham's Karol Itauma moved up to 6-0 with a fourth stoppage victory. With Kroupa trapped in the corner, he picked his shots maturely, still keeping out of range and countering his opponent from his southpaw stance. He finished the fight with a series of hooks and uppercuts until the official stepped in.
Main Event
Marc Leach PTS-12 vs Chris Bourke
A surprise to some as Marc Leach assumed control of the fight very early on, winning most of the rounds comfortably.
The scorecards were read as 117-111, 116-113, 116-112 to Marc Leach, becoming the British super bantamweight champion in his 20th fight.
IBF World flyweight champion Sunny Edwards commented: "Finished the last four rounds great did Marc. Chris ended up beating himself, walking forward, following Leach around without giving him too much to think about. Marc has always been a good fighter and now he's got leverage to get the fights. He will be hard to beat."
'Livewire' Leach has only been beaten once – on his pro debut by a single point. He is a former English champion and will be looking to challenge Jason Cunningham for the European belt next.
