Kid Galahad's dream of becoming world champion was finally realized as he produced a stunning effort to defeat Jazza Dickens. The Sheffield man was in control for large portions of the bout and his industry was rewarded when Dickens was pulled out by his corner before the final session started.
Like their first fight in 2013, Dickens made a great start and it looked like he was the fighter on top as he landed a number of eye-catching shots in the opening stages. That was as good as it got for the Liverpool man as Galahad figured him out in round two and didn’t surrender his advantage once on top.
As the contest became harder for Dickens, Galahad grew in confidence as he found the target frequently. With each passing round, the strain of the contest was evident on Dickens’ face as a number of cuts and bruises showed just how dominant Galahad was.
With Dickens seemingly miles behind on the scorecards and his injuries looking threatening, the decision was made to pull him out with three minutes remaining. This decision prompted wild celebrations from Galahad’s corner who were overjoyed with the result, which saw him become the Ingle gym’s latest world ruler.
