Kieron Conway TKO4 Gerome Warburton... On the Copper Box show in London, Kieron Conway defended his British and Commonwealth middleweight titles in emphatic fashion, forcing the corner of Gerome Warburton to throw in the towel in the fourth round. The first three rounds were all-action with the pair going toe-to-toe exchanging volleys of multi-shot combinations up close. The writing was on the wall however as Conway (23-3-1) would have the better of almost all of these back-and-forths - landing cleaner and heavier shots.  Warburton (15-2-2) did his best to impose himself on the British and Commonwealth champion but Conway’s ability to make ‘The Bread Maker’ miss by an inch and make him pay with big body shots saw Warburton start to struggle. 

 

As the fourth round progressed, Conway had Warburton backed into a corner and found a home for a looping left hook around the elbow of the challenger, which sent him to the ropes. The Northampton native thought the fight might have been over then, taking a momentary pause before unloading three more punches to Warburton. His corner had seen enough and threw in the towel.
