Ryan Garner adds British and Commonwealth belts to his European crown
Ryan Garner (18-0, 9 KOs) continued his undefeated run with a 12th-round TKO over in-form Matchroom fighter Reece Bellotti (20-6, 15 KOs) in Bournemouth on July 26, live on DAZN.
The opening seconds told the story of the two fighters straightaway, as Bellotti threw a double jab and Garner swung with a big right hook.
The 27-year-old ‘Piranha’ set the pace of the fight high and never stopped trying to land a knockout blow, which eventually came in the final round.
Garner secured the 12th-round TKO 45 seconds into the final round by landing copious big left and right hooks to the head. The Southampton man landed a big right hook to the temple to wobble Bellotti’s legs, then Garner followed up with several huge left and right hooks to the chin before referee Victor Loughlin rightfully jumped in to save the Watford warrior from any more damage.
Garner swooped up a haul of four titles – British, Commonwealth, European, WBC International super-featherweight titles.
Already ranked WBC #7, Garner will be in touching distance of a world title shot at champion O’Shaquie Foster with his latest win.
