Eales is a knockout performer for fans

- By MATT BOZEAT

ASHLEE Eales produced one of the knockouts of the year in his latest fight.

Eales launched his pro career with three points wins and delivered the fireworks he promised his Nuneaton fans at the H Suite in Birmingham at the weekend. He laid out Kirk Stevens in the third round of their super welterweig­ht fight in jaw dropping style.

From the start Eales dominated his southpaw opponent from the centre of the ring.

He boxed patiently, picking his punches, and when he spotted a gap in Stevens’ defences in the third Eales aimed a right hand at his opponent’s chin. The punch landed flush on its target and flung Stevens on to his back.

The referee waved the fight off, sparking wild celebratio­ns among Eales’ many supporters

Eales is back in the ring in Wolverhamp­ton on July 22.

He will step up to six-round level for the first time in his pro career with this fight.
