Norwich heavyweight Sam Sexton enhanced his growing reputation on Friday night as he beat the dangerous Martin Rogan in his own back yard for the second time in six months.
The Commonwealth champion successfully defended his title at Belfast's Odyssey Arena, turning in an impressive display of boxing before the challenger was forced to retire injured at the start of the seventh round.
The fight was an eagerly awaited re-match, with Sexton having won the original bout at the same venue in controversial circumstances when it was stopped late on due to Rogan's facial injuries.
The latest encounter was another brutal affair, with Sexton's superior skills putting him in charge before the premature finish.
