Yafai powers past Molina

British super-flyweight Kal Yafai has won the IBF intercontinental title after a second-round stoppage of Herald Molina.

The Birmingham-based fighter is one of the brightest talents in the country and he continued to enhance his blossoming reputation with a ruthless display against the Nicaraguan.

The 25-year-old floored Molina with a left to the body in the opening three minutes and, although his opponent beat the count, he could not mount any sort of a fightback in the second.

A left hook from Yafai had Molina on the canvas for a second time and, after another bludgeoning shot downed the 32-year-old, the referee called off the fight.

Kal's brother Gamal was also in action at Wembley Arena as he went the distance to record a 60-54 verdict over Sofiane Bellahcene in their super-bantamweight contest.
