Paddy Donovan continues to cruise in the early stages of his pro career. The 22-year-old southpaw from Limerick, Ireland advanced to 7-0 (5KOs) following a first round knockout of Argentina’s Jose Luis Castillo.

Paddy Donovan continued his rapid rise as a professional as he pounded Siar Ozgul to defeat on the MTK Global show at Bolton.

Ozgul, a London-based Turkish boxer, had lost five of his previous six but had boxed in high class, having gone the distance with Viktor Posto, Anthony Yigit and Sean McComb.
