Fabio Wardley achieved the biggest win of his career by stopping Joseph Parker, setting himself up for a world title shot against Oleksandr Usyk.
In a thrilling contest at the O2 Arena, Wardley demonstrated his toughness by withstanding several huge punches from Parker before forcing referee Howard Foster to stop the bout in the 11th round.
The WBO had ordered Parker to face undisputed world heavyweight champion Usyk in July.
Parker, who was world champion in 2016, had promised to be a "different level" to the 30-year-old Wardley, and this seemed to be the case for much of the bout in London.
However, Wardley's victory has now set him up for a shot at the undisputed world title against Usyk.
