Dylan Cheema ended up winning the contest by three rounds to one, but his opponent made it tougher than many expected.

After the fight, the 26-year-old admitted he had to work hard to get the win.

Giving props to his opponent, Cheema said:

“We knew Stu was tough. Well we can’t call him a journeyman because he won last week so it proves the type of opponents we want to get in [the ring] with and get in the experience with.

“That showed, it was tough in there tonight, I can’t complain. It definitely got the rounds in that I needed.”

Cheema then thanked those who had supported him.

He went on to say that he needs to improve his defence as he makes his way up the rankings.

“It was a quick turnaround from the tournament to boxing again tonight so there’s a bit of work we need to do but that’s what we got the contract for.

“We’re building on the platform, getting used to the big nights, getting used to the cameras and the attention as well as getting the experience which a lot of other fighters don’t get so I fortunately get to learn on a big stage.”
