Armenia's Leva Kirakosyan defended his European super-featherweight
title with a fourth-round stoppage of Britain's Carl Johanneson in
Barnsley.
Johanneson hit the canvas three times before eventually succumbing to a
heavy right uppercut after one minute and 50 seconds of the fourth
round.
It knocked him out and the referee stopped the contest without a count.
Kirakosyan was the last man to beat British champion in December 2004,
since when he has won seven straight.
