Cheavon Clarke produced a stunning comeback in Bournemouth, recovering from two knockdowns to stop Jack Massey in the seventh round of their cruiserweight thriller. The former British champion absorbed a powerful right hand that dropped him twice in the fourth, taking full eight-counts before rallying.

Massey appeared to control the contest after the fourth round damage, but Clarke turned the tide in the fifth and sixth. A massive right hand in the seventh sent Massey to the canvas, and the referee waved it off with over 80 seconds remaining, completing a remarkable turnaround.

Lee Cutler secured a third-round TKO victory over Aaron Sutton when a powerful right hand caused a dislocated shoulder. Stephen McKenna marked his return from a 539-day absence with a 64-second first-round stoppage of Casey James Streeter. Sam Hickey maintained his perfect 5-0 record with a brutal second-round knockout.

Alex MacMillan (4-0) opened the show with a statement second-round stoppage, while Leon Hughes (5-0) dominated Mario Vergiev before the referee intervened. The card showcased Zuffa Boxing's depth ahead of upcoming shows in Las Vegas and Dublin.
