Cameron Vuong remained perfect in his young career and is already set for his next fight.

The first-year pro enjoyed a one-sided, sixth-round stoppage of a reluctant Ishmael Ellis. Vuong was scheduled for his first scheduled eight-round bout, but Ellis’ lack of effort forced referee Bob Alexander to stop the contest at 2:36 of the sixth round Saturday on DAZN from Indigo at The O2 in London.

Vuong fought at a deliberate pace versus a defensive-minded Ellis, who did little throughout to engage. The first scheduled eight-rounder perhaps played a part in Vuong refusing to let his hands go given the lack of an offensive threat in return.

That dynamic changed in the fifth round. Vuong saw greater success with his right hand, though still mostly one punch at a time. Ellis was in retreat mode as he was caught with a left uppercut along the ropes. The Birmingham journeyman was forced to contend with a bloodied nose, which only further contributed to his lack of effort.

Vuong remained on the hunt in round six. He effectively caught off the ring and give Ellis little room to run. The one-sided nature of the fight was not lost on the referee, who intervened during a Vuong rally to stop the fight.

Vuong advanced to 4-0 (3KOs), remaining active since his October 7 pro debut. That hectic schedule will continue—promoter Eddie Hearn announced after the fight that Vuong will face Jordan Flynn on the April 13 Zelfa Barrett-Jordan Gill DAZN show in Manchester. The two exchanged words, which ended with a shove from Vuong before he exited the ring.

Vuong-Ellis took place on a show as part of Matchroom Boxing’s NXTGEN series. Headlining the card, London’s Liam Dillon (13-0-1, 3KOs) and Watford’s Reece Bellotti (17-5, 14KOs) meet in a twelve-round, British junior featherweight title fight.
