O2 Arena, London - In a battle of unbeatens for the EBU cruiserweight title, Lawrence Okolie (14-0, 11 KOs) stopped Yves Ngabu (20-1, 14 KOs) in the seventh round. (photos by Mark Robinson)

The first six rounds were not that exciting and very close with both boxers staying inside with a lot of holding and Okolie using his range to create a lot of problems for Ngabu.

In the seventh, Okolie landed a hard shot to the jaw that puts Ngabu in serious trouble. His legs were gone and he went staggering back to ropes - which promoted the referee to quickly jump in and wave off the contest.
