Josh Kelly picked up his first major title in style after retiring Commonwealth champion Kris George at the Metro Radio Arena on Saturday.

The mercurial 24-year-old talent once again showcased his blistering hand speed and sensational timing before George’s team pulled their man out of the contest after seven rounds of one-sided action.

The victory means the 2016 Rio Olympian wins the rainbow belt after just seven fights in the professional format.
