Dylan Cheema was crowned BOXXER Series lightweight champion via a unanimous decision victory over Rylan Charlton in the final in Coventry.
Cheema, the hometown boy roared on by the local crowd, capped a stunning night in which he knocked out Otis Lookham inside the first round of the opening quarter-final and beat Scott Melvin by split decision in the semi-finals.
The relentless Charlton came out swinging early in both of the first two rounds of the final, but Cheema displayed a great chin and ultimately wore his opponent down with some crisp body shots and counter punching.
Charlton began to tire and became a little more ragged as the fight wore on, although he produced one final assault late in the third in a stunning finish to the final. But it was Cheema who ultimately emerged victorious.
In the semi-finals, Cheema had edged out Melvin by split decision, while Charlton delivered a brutal knockdown of his own to beat Shaun Cooper in the third round of their bout.
