Boy Jones Jr. put in a scintillating display as he picked up his first professional title.

The 19-year-old was as comfortable as he was dominant at the Brentwood Centre, exclusively live on BoxNation, in front of a capacity crowd.

Jones Jr., who is just over three weeks shy of his 20th birthday, beat the extremely tough Martin Hillman to win the vacant Southern Area super-featherweight title, as part of the supporting cast to Bradley Skeete’s first defence of the British welterweight crown against John Thain.

Hillman, 25, pressured the youngster early on, throwing good shots in a hope to discourage the early onslaught from Jones Jr.

But the Chingford prospect, who moves on to 11-0-1 (7 KOs) with the victory, soaked up the pressure and put on something of a masterclass from beginning to end to outline his credentials in the 130lb division, hoping to send a big message to his fellow domestic level fighters in that weight class.

After rallying calls from fans at ringside and his corner, Hillman –– to his credit –– fought on until the end but his work lacked accuracy and he fell short by a wide margin on the cards after 10 rounds.

The fight was scored 99-92 in favour of Boy Jones Jr. and the cut co-challenger Hillman, who had a nick over his left eye, dropped to 8-3 (2 KOs) in defeat.

Meanwhile, Billy Long made a statement with a first-round stoppage.

‘The Bomb’, 27, is now 5-0 (2 KOs) after ousting Dean Gillen, the fighting fireman, inside a round.

Gillen, who slipped to 3-5 in defeat, was iced inside the same distance by Indian sensation Vijender Singh 12 months ago.

Johnny Coyle remained undefeated with a convincing points victory over late substitute

Nelson Altamirano over the six-round distance. It was 60-54 at the end of the contest, with Coyle advancing to 16-0-1 (2 KOs) and Altamirano –– who is from Nicaragua but bases himself in Spain –– ended the evening with a new ledger of 10-11-2 with six early.

And Nathanael Wilson, the estranged son of Chris Eubank Jr., fought to a draw after a lacklustre display against Josh Thorne, who was returning after a two-and-a-half-year hiatus and now has a record of 1-6. The referee scored the contest 38 points apiece.
