Richard Riakporhe took his time in breaking down Olanrewaju Durodola, who was stopped in the fifth round of a scheduled cruiserweight ten at Wembley Arena.

Riakporhe, the former British champion who is WBC No 10, was mostly satisfied using his jab in the opening round, but when it landed Durodola seemed to dip at the knees. 

As the ten-second warning sounded, Riakporhe whipped over a right hand that had Durodola backpedaling and a left sent him tumbling back to the ropes at the bell.  

It was a similar methodical approach to round two for Riakporhe, but when he threw the right, the shot rocked Durodola to his feet.  

A right hook clearly hurt the Nigerian early in round three but, despite following it up, Durodola seemed to quickly recover. There was a rally from Durodolaearly in the fourth round, but Riakporhe fired back with two good rights. 

But when Riakporhe stepped on the gas at the start of the fifth round, it was soon over. A left hook dropped Durodola in the opening seconds and, while he beat the count, Riakporhe opened up landing several clean shots on the ropes until referee Victor Loughlin stepped in. 

The 41-year-old Nigerian was throwing a shot in return as the stoppage came, but the fight was one-sided. The time of the end was 0:36. Riakporhe collected a minor WBC belt. 

Florian Marku reputation as more than just a good ticket-seller continues to grow but the London-based Albanian welterweight was frustrated by Jorick Luisetto, of France, before extending his unbeaten record to 11 fights (one draw) with an eight-round points win. 

Marku put pressure on Luisetto from the start and found the Frenchman happy to exchange punches when they worked up close. But Marku looked better when he worked behind his southpaw left, mixing jabs and hooks and forcing Luisetti backwards.  

He loves to entertain, though, and while his many fans seemed delighted when Marku started showboating in the fifth, dropping his hands and moving in a jerky, exaggerated manner, it did rather take away from the job at hand, which should have been stopping Luisetto. 

Instead, he allowed Luisetto to come on to him and the Frenchman took the sixth round, working constantly and landing a decent right hook. 

Marky snapped from his apathy in the seventh round, although he did get a warning from referee Bob Williams for spinning Luisetto around and then hitting him. There was no grandstand finish, although the pair did end the fight swinging punches at each other. Williams scored it 78-75. 

Nick Campbell struggled to pin down heavyweight survivor Phil Williams before landing a picture perfect right cross in the third round that sent Williams to the floor. Campbell, who moved to 4-0, had Williams over in the first as he tumbled over after a right, but thereafter he managed to frustrate the big Scot. 

But after the knockdown in the third round, Williams got to his feet at night and showed only mild annoyance when referee Marcus McDonnell waved it off at 2:00.
