O2 Arena, London -Frank Buglioni (19-2-1, 15KOs) makes the first defence of his British light heavyweight title with a hard earned 12 round points win over Ricky Summers (13-0-0, 5KOs).

Londoner Buglioni, 28, was made to work throughout, but landed the more telling shots to win 116-113, 115-114, 118-111 on the scorecards.

After an even start, the champion hurt Summers with a right hand at the end of the second that saw the challenger stumble to his corner.

Buglioni landed two more meaty rights in round four but the determined Summers, 29, responded by landing his own power shots upstairs in a back and forth round six.

'Wise Guy' Buglioni - trained by Don Charles - showed effective head movement in round seven that frustrated the challenger, and landed a looping left hook in the eighth that had 'Digger' in trouble.

Despite it being his first fight outside his native West Midlands, Summers was not overawed by top billing at the 02 Arena and continued to absorb the punishment while looking to land a big right hand down the pipe.

However, the Enfied man stayed composed and continued to get the better of the rounds, and came close to forcing the stoppage late in the final round.

Olympic bronze medallist Joshua Buatsi scores a second round technical knockout of Cuban-born Carlos Mena (4-6-0, 1KO) on his professional debut.

Light heavyweight Buatsi claimed a medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics and wasted little time in making his presence felt in the paid ranks.

Londoner Buatsi, 24, hurt Mena with a left to the body in the opening seconds and followed up by sending him to the canvas with another hook later in the first round.

Mena jumped up off the canvas to see out the round but was sent down again early in the second with crippling body shot.

A further knockdown followed seconds later, and although Mena bravely got back on his feet once again, a barrage of unanswered head shots 1.19 into round two was enough for the referee to wave off the contest.

Having teamed up with Anthony Joshua's own management company, Buatsi will look to tread a similar path to world championship glory.
