From MTK Global:
FIELDING BACK WITH A BANG
Rocky Fielding returned to the ring in style after nearly one year out as he needed less than two rounds to stop Abdallah Paziwapazi on a packed #MTKFightNight at the Eventim Olympia in Liverpool.
Former world champion Fielding (28-2, 16 KOs) was dominant from start to finish, as he earned the knockout win over Paziwapazi (26-7-1, 23 KOs) in front of a passionate crowd, live in the US on ESPN+ in association with Top Rank, and also live on IFL TV.
A big card also saw a win for Fielding’s gym-mate Martin Murray (39-5-1, 17 KOs), as he overcame Sladan Janjanin (27-5, 21 KOs).
Ex-lightweight king Terry Flanagan (36-2, 14 KOs) secured another dominant win, overcoming Jayro Duran (14-7, 13 KOs), and exciting Blane Hyland (1-0) made a successful start to his professional career, beating the experienced Steven Maguire.
Tasha Jonas (9-1, 7 KOs) won inside two rounds as she stopped Bianka Majlath (3-4, 3 KOs), while Ged Carroll (11-1) came up narrowly short as he was beaten on points by Jeff Ofori (10-1, 3 KOs) in their intriguing 50-50 battle. There were also convincing wins for John Quigley (17-2, 3 KOs) and Sean Turner (2-0).
Here’s everything you need to know from a fantastic night of action…

Jonas said: “It’s always good to get a stoppage. I thought the referee was going to stop it when we were in the first round, but I had to wait until the second.
“It’s becoming a good hunting ground for me here. In 2020 I want more rounds and more fights, so hopefully I can stay active.”
