Joe Joyce def. Christian Hammer via TKO in Round 4
'Juggernaut' eased to a comfortable victory for his first fight in nearly a year, maintaining his undefeated streak. The Brit forced Hammer to take a knee at the end of the third round, which spelled the beginning of the end for the German heavyweight. He endured three more counts prior to the TKO.

Joyce will surely have his eyes on the upcoming rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua. Whoever comes out victorious from their clash will hold the WBO title, of which the Brit is the mandatory challenger.
Zolani Tete def. Jason Cunningham via KO in Round 4
Zolani Tete decimated Jason Cunningham as the Brit looked to elevate his competition against the former two-weight world champion. For the first three rounds, Tete seized control with his southpaw stance and sharp jabs.
He dropped Cunningham once before landing a significant left hook which left his opponent motionless on the ground, milliseconds after the ref had already waved off the contest. Paramedics were required to treat the fallen Brit, providing oxygen until he could get back to his feet four minutes later.
