Dillian Whyte stopped Ebenezer Tetteh in the seventh round in an entertaining - and much-needed - victory in Gibraltar.
Former WBC interim world heavyweight champion Whyte was returning from a lengthy injury lay-off and faced a sterner-than-expected test from the Ghanaian heavyweight.
A big right from Whyte in the fourth rocked Tetteh for the first time, but not before the previously unbeaten Tetteh had connected with a smart right and uppercut combo earlier in the round.
Tetteh was slow to get off his stool before the fifth round and Whyte took advantage of his tiring opponent.
Asked before the sixth if he wanted to continue, Tetteh soldiered on but was peppered with punches which rocked his head back and forth before being retired at the end of the seventh.

Speaking to DAZN after the right, The Body Snatcher said he was grateful to get back in the ring and get some rounds under his belt as he looks to reestablish himself in the heavyweight division.
