Charlie Edwards made the first defence of his WBC flyweight title against Spain's Angel Moreno on an action-packed card at the Copper Box Arena.

Elsewhere, Lawrence Okolie won the commonwealth belt for a second time with a fourth round knockout of Wadi Camacho, Joshua Buatsi won the British title with an impressive third round stoppage of Liam Conroy and Lewis Ritson returned from his first career defeat with a points win at super-lightweight against German Benitez.

Charlie Edwards

"It was a punch-perfect, clinical boxing performance, just like I predicted.

"I'm going to go all the way and be a multi-weight world champion.

"It's just a dream come true.

"I want to build a legacy."

He lacks no confidence. None at all.
