He stopped previously unbeaten Macedonian Lulzim Ismaili in the opening round, seizing the vacant WBO Inter-Continental super welterweight title and extending his perfect record to 11-0.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"508\" data-end=\"859\">The fight ended brutally quick. Just over a minute in, Tszyu landed a clean left hand to the body, dropping Ismaili hard. The challenger struggled and could not continue into the second round, with reports later confirming a rib injury. \u201cThat\u2019s the shot we worked on all camp,\u201d Tszyu said ringside. \u201cI knew if I landed it clean, it would end early.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"YouTube video\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" nopin=\"nopin\" class=\"perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1755716708_685_hqdefault.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Michael Zerafa and Brock Jarvis Deliver Knockouts in Sydney<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"931\" data-end=\"1143\">\u00a0Michael Zerafa needed less than a round to dispatch Mikey Dahlman in their middleweight contest, showing sharpness and intent as he eyes bigger fights later this year.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1145\" data-end=\"1399\">Brock Jarvis, rebuilding his career after setbacks, kept momentum alive with a fourth-round stoppage of Sam Beck in their 71kg catchweight fight. Jarvis was in control from the start, mixing body shots with pressure to force the referee\u2019s intervention.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"YouTube video\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" nopin=\"nopin\" class=\"perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1755716708_505_hqdefault.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Prospects Shine on the Undercard<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1444\" data-end=\"1695\">Ahmad Reda dominated Bruno Tarimo over ten rounds to capture the Australian super lightweight title.

The win could push Reda into the WBO\u2019s regional rankings.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1697\" data-end=\"1910\">Jasmine Parr continued her rise, stopping Efasha Kamarudin in round five of their super flyweight fight. Welterweight prospect Isaias Sette outworked Jacob Clenshaw over five rounds to earn a unanimous decision.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1912\" data-end=\"2155\">On the undercard, Ashleigh Heal marked her pro debut with a split-decision win at 75kg. Blair Geraghty halted Naki Saguba in the third, and heavyweight Brandon Grach made short work of Bensyn Pauga, closing the show inside the opening round.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"YouTube video\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" nopin=\"nopin\" class=\"perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1755716708_761_hqdefault.jpg\"\/><br \/>\nFull Results<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2431\" data-end=\"2524\">Nikita Tszyu def.
