Machlan Arthur living teenage dream with stoppage in Dublin
Machlan Arthur made it two wins from two as a professional fighter as he powered his way past opponent Ryan Frost in Dublin.
The 19-year-old, who secured his maiden victory in April entering the welterweight division, was a class above his opponent at the 3Arena, twice knocking Frost to the canvas before the referee brought the contest to a halt.
Arthur, who had dad Alex in his corner, is one of the UK's hottest prospects having signed with Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions.
The Capital fighter will now enjoy some downtime before preparing for his next duel.
"Saturday night was brilliant," the teenager said. "There was a great atmosphere in the arena. It was good experience for me to go into the fourth round for the first time ever and also get the knockout win in the end against a game, tough opponent.
"Dublin was my favourite place to box as an amateur and I was reminded why on Saturday night. The Irish people are brilliant and treated us like one of their own. It was great to see many of my Irish friends and I really look forward to coming back and fighting again in Ireland soon.
"I would also like to thank God for the whole experience. Without God none of this would be possible. And to all my family and friends too for coming out and supporting me. Looking out to the crowd after my win and seeing my mum, my brother Liston, grandparents, and friends I've had since nursery and many more, is a special feeling that I will always cherish."
