Daniel Dubois moved to 3-0 with three early with a victory in under a minute.
The 19-year-old competently dispatched of David Howe, who is now 13-6 with six early, exclusively live on BoxNation and BT Sport.
Dubois made his debut just last month before fighting in April two weeks later and now getting things done after just 40 seconds at the Copper Box Arena in London.
It was a big right hand to the chin of Howe which forced the Sheffield man to collapse to the canvas.
The referee Jeff Hinds then rightly waved the fight off.
“I enjoyed that,” Dubois said afterwards, “and I’m glad I found a shot that put him away quickly.
“My footwork is very important because it means that I can throw my shots with speed and speed kills.”
Dubois will return to the ring on July 8 at the same venue on the same bill as Billy Joe Saunders’ WBO middleweight world title defence against Avtandil Khurtsidze.
And earlier in the card, Joe Pigford kept up his undefeated ledger with a devastating stoppage of previously unbeaten Aarron Morgan.
The pair were 12-0, with 11 and eight early endings respectively, going in to the fight, but it was Pigford –– who was far from perfect during the fight –– who came out on top after a right hand and left hook combination floored Morgan before the referee waved the fight off instantly, deeming the Barking man to be in no position to continue after the concluding barrage midway through round six.
Morgan received medical attention after being knocked out but thankfully rose to his feet and was guided back to his dressing room.
