Mark Chamberlain took less than a minute to win the first fight in the UK after lockdown, as Stu Greener failed to get past the unbeaten lightweight’s initial onslaught.
The last time he had been in a ring, Greener had pulled off an upset, beating unbeaten prospect Tyler Davies, but he was giving away a huge amount of height and could not really get close to Chamberlain.
After attempting an early attack, Greener was pinned back on the ropes and then staggered by a left hook. Chamberlain followed up and dropped with a right to the body and another left hook.
Greener made it off the floor at the count of five, but Chamberlain was right on him, shrugging off Greener’s attempts to hold to batter him back to the ropes and force the stoppage from referee Michael Alexander at 55 seconds of the first round.
Chamberlain extended his unbeaten record to six, four of whom failed to survive a round.
“I didn’t expect it to go like that,” Chamberlain said. “They were good clean shots, I didn’t rush in, my footwork was good, my hands we good and every punch counted.
“It’s a little bit different. It’s a bit like sparring, but there are probably more people in the gym when you spar.”
