      Sean Noakes took just three rounds to complete a stoppage triumph over Marian Wesołowski that looked inevitable almost from the start.
      The Maidstone welterweight soon caught his Polish rival at ease – with jabs and then straight rights.
      Wesolowski briefly responded well in the second round.
      But Noakes quickly turned on the power again, especially when he crunched into his opponent’s draw with a right upper-cut.
      Another big right early in the third round set Noakes up to finish it.
      And an overhand right followed by a brutal uppercut were the decisive blows, with the referee halting proceedings as Wesolowski slumped in the corner.

      Appearing on the Betr podcast, Jake Paul could hardly hide his exasperation at claims over his Mike Tyson fight.
      He said: “It’s so sad that millions of people believe that. It’s f***ing absurd. Obviously, none of that is true.
      “They’re so f***ing stupid. Anyone who believes that s should not be allowed to vote.
      “Actually, I thought of this – there should be these hidden tests throughout life that qualify you to be able to vote or not.
      “And they don’t know whether they’re taking a test or not.
      “The fact that these people are not only driving around on our streets but they’re able to vote? They’re out there driving cars!
      “They’re dumb as f*** and it’s sad.“We live in a f***ed up world. Humans are getting more and more stupid every day. It’s crazy.”

      Jake Paul has fumed at online theories that his fight with Mike Tyson has a series of bonkers rules.
      Earlier this month it was announced that the Problem Child would be facing Iron Mike at the 80,000-seater AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on July 20.
      One mooted stipulation was that Paul would be allowed to wear a head guard while Tyson went without.
      While another claimed that he’d be able to tag-team his WWE star brother Logan in.
