Josh Padley TKO2 Jaouad Belmehdi... Josh Padley moved to claim the vacant European 130-pound championship in emphatic style as he dispatched Jaouad Belmehdi inside two rounds in Newcastle, England on Saturday. Fighting on the Bakhram Murtazaliev-Josh Kelly undercard, the Doncaster native made short work of his latest opponent to underline his growing status as a key operator. Since losing a WBC lightweight title bid as a late replacement to face Shakur Stevenson nearly a year ago, Padley (18-1) has won three straight against good opposition. Belmehdi returns to France with a record of 23-3-3.
