From BBC website
Tony Oakey knocked out Peter Haymer in the ninth round to retain his British light-heavyweight title in London.
Portsmouth's Oakey, who lost to a close points verdict to Haymer in 2005, delivered a succession of combination punches to put the Londoner in trouble.
The 32-year-old then saw his chance and delivered a ferocious left hook to send his 29-year-old rival to the canvas.
"The knockout was the icing on the cake. It was a hard fight, but I'm pleased to settle the score," he said.
"This time the training went well, and I was really put through my paces in the preparation for the fight.
"I feel I am at my peak now and I'd like a European title fight if (promoter) Frank Maloney can arrange it." |
