The Englishman was losing on the judges' scorecards with the contest reaching its conclusion, but Mitchell struck his opponent with a succession of blows to leave him running for cover.

Maduma collapsed onto the ropes before regaining composure to carry on, only for Mitchell to land a jab with his left hand to knock the Canadian down once more, prompting the referee to end the contest.

Despite the victory, Mitchell will not get a title shot due to the fact that he was over the maximum weight limit for the fight.
