The British boxer Steed Woodall (19-2-1, 12 KOs) created a huge sensation in the ring of the Bolton Whites Hotel in Bolton, England, beating the previously unbeaten Larrone Richards (18-1, 4 KOs) and winning the vacant WBO Inter-Continental super bantamweight belt. The main event of the boxing show ended early.

Initially, the fight was going well for Richards, but by the middle of the 10-round fight, he was noticeably tired.

The denouement came in the 6th three minutes. Woodall managed to land an accurate counterpunch. Richard was shocked, and at that moment Steed managed to land another powerful spinning backhand.

The favorite got to his feet, but could not take a few steps without hesitation. The referee immediately stopped the fight, awarding the victory by technical knockout.

Online, this event was called the upset of the year, given that before the fight, bets on Woodall's victory were taken with odds of 13, and Richards' success was estimated at 1.05.
