Derrick Osaze was warming to the task against London middleweight Denzel Bentley but walked on to a second-round right uppercut inside a red-hot York Hall in Bethnal Green, London, and that was that.
After an exploratory opening session from both, Osaze was emboldened in the second and landed a flush right as he started to apply some pressure.
Bentley, the WBO’s number-two middleweight, was being backed up at times in the second but then, almost from nowhere, detonated a right uppercut as Osaze attacked and Osaze pitched face first on to the canvas.
