Campbell secures late stoppage against Szot

British lightweight Luke Campbell has recorded a seventh-round stoppage win against the durable Krzysztof Szot.

The Olympic gold medallist was coming off the back of a first-round victory in California last month, but the Yorkshire fighter was forced to work hard to take out his Polish opponent.

Campbell was never in danger during any part of the contest at Wembley Arena, but Szot looked capable of taking the 26-year-old the full eight rounds.

However, in the penultimate round, Campbell landed with a hook to the body and after Szot had taken a knee, the Englishman unleashed a flurry of punches to force the referee to step in.
