Shakur Stevenson (23-0, 11 KOs) proved that Josh Padley (15-1, 4 KOs) was no match for him by stopping him in nine rounds. The official time of stoppage was 3:00.

Josh Padley, who before this week was largely unknown outside of British boxing circles, has said he can "definitely" beat lightweight world champion Shakur Stevenson on Saturday.

Shakur Stevenson is hoping to put in a statement performance on his Riyadh Season debut as late replacement Josh Padley challenges for the WBC lightweight title.
