Anthony Joshua needed just 134 seconds to see off the challenge of Hector Avila in Glasgow and chalk up his fifth win as a professional.
The British heavyweight endeared himself to the crowd at the SECC by heading to the ring to the sounds of the Proclaimers' '500 Miles' - and he quickly had the fans on their feet by flooring his Argentine opponent.
Avila had taken another Brit, Dereck Chisora, nine rounds just under a year ago but failed to even get out of the first, his night coming to a premature end when he walked onto a left counter.
'The Shark' was attempting to lead in with a right himself but was caught by a chopping blow that sent him flat on his back. The referee began the count but it soon became apparent the bout was over.
