In front of his home fans, Brighton boxer Harlem Eubank (21-0, 9KO) stopped 'The Mighty Celt' Tyrone McKenna in the 10th round of their scheduled 12-round IBF Inter-Continental welterweight championship fight, live on Channel 5.
35-year-old Irish southpaw, McKenna, was down in rounds five, seven and 10, before referee John Latham stopped the fight at 2:09 in the 10th.
The first knockdown came from a big right hand in the fifth, then he had the Irish southpaw over again in the seventh with another clean right hand on the chin. After the third knockdown in the 10th, the ref had seen enough and called a halt.
