Briton Chris Billam-Smith retained his WBO cruiserweight title as Mateusz Masternak retired in Bournemouth.
Referee John Latham waved off the contest two seconds into round eight after Pole Masternak sustained an injury.
Billam-Smith struggled to match Masternak early on, but his work on the body in round seven paid dividends.
It was Chris first defence of his title.
He extended his winning streak to 10, and his overall record boasts 19 victories from 20 fights. He has lost only to Richard Riakporhe in 2019, and a rematch with his British rival could be next.
On the potential of facing Riakporhe, who was at the Bournemouth International Centre, Billam-Smith told Sky Sports: “I’ve never shied away from a fight.
“Me and Richard boxed in our 10th fight. We had similar records; it was a risk for both of us.
“It will be amazing, the rematch. I’m much better than that. He might look at that and fancy it.”
