On Saturday night at the Altrincham Leisure Centre in Manchester, England, lightweight John Murray won the division's biggest domestic showdown as he stopped Jon Thaxton in the fourth round.

Local hero Murray regained the British title he lost on the scales in June with one of his best performances to date.
