Heavyweight prospect Otto Wallin improved his unbeaten streak to 19 with a third round TKO win over journeyman Srdan Govedarica.
The 27-year-old Swedish pugilist settled his jab early in round one and dropped Govedarica (6-6, 5 KOs) in the second and third frames respectively thanks to calculated left hooks to the body. Wallin (19-0, 13 KOs), who is promoted by Sauerland Event, is on his way to become a challenger for the EBU title this year.
In a low-placed tactical fight, Araik Marutjan secured his second pro win against Richard Hegyi (4-3, 3 KOs). The middleweight combatants used all four frames to try to out think the other. Marutjan (2-0) got a unanimous verdict over his Hungarian opponent.
Nigerian-born, London-based cruiserweight Mikael Lawal kept his unbeaten record with a six-round unanimous decision win over Hungarian journeyman Istvan Orsos.
The 22-year-old Lawal (5-0, 3 KOs) started to land his powerful right hooks and uppercuts in the second frame. He dropped Orsos (16-43-2, 6 KOs) in round two, three and five respectively, but was unable to finish his helpless foe. No scorecards were announced but it is more than likely that all three judges scored the bout 60-51 for Lawal.

175-pound prospect Jevgenijs Aleksejevs kept his 'O' with a hard-fought six-round split decision over Frenchmen Maurice Possiti. The Riga-based hometown favorite Aleksejevs (8-0, 6 KOs) started well in round one and took the heat with his aggressive combinations. Possiti (17-13, 7 KOs) found his rhythm in round two.
In the third the French fighter got rocked by a short right hook but finished the round on the attack. The Latvian boxer suffered a bad cut over his right eye in round four but managed to regain his confidence in the fifth. The combatants traded heavy blows in the ultimate stanza. Judges scores were 58-56, 58-56, 56-58 for Aleksejevs.
Heavyweight prospect Filip Hrgovic (3-0, 3 KOs) continued his destruction charge by battering and stopping British veteran Tom Little (10-5) in the fourth round.
The 2016 Rio Olympic bronze medalist Filip Hrgovich collected more experience in his bout against Little than he had in his first two bouts combined in the pro ranks. The Croatian heavyweight prospect seemed to be a bit over-anxious in the first frame before he found his distance in round two. Hrgovich landed his straight right hand hard and often until referee Daniel Van de Wiele called a halt to the bout in round four. Official time was 2:15.

Strange ITV only picked up the main event.
Shame. I’d like to have seen how Hrgovic got on. He’s the best of the 2016 Olympians imo. He beat Tony ‘son of AIBA’ Yoka ( like everyone else did to be fair! ) in their fight
I'm fuckin raging! Wouldn't work on iPad so I stuck it on laptop and it keeps buffering! Really fuckin poor this from ITV. Absolute shambles! I've got BT and can't get it on that!

Ive followed Bredis since his "BIggers Better" tournament days. That road led to tonight. I just hope he can do himself justice tonight regardless. He's much better than last showing.
