Liam Smith moved one step closer to another world title shot after stopping Hassan Mwakinyo inside four rounds at the M&S Bank Arena.
However, the fight’s ending was clouded in confusion and controversy at the way the referee wave off the contest, with Mwakinyo and his corner less than impressed.
After three tight rounds, in which Smith was always on the front foot, with Mwakinyo happy to keep his guard up and challenge his opponent to open things up, round four was when things turned incredibly strange.
