The chief support saw Sandy Ryan avenge her loss against Erica Farias earlier in the year, as Ryan would right the wrong and produce a composed performance to pick up a victory over her rival on points to pick up the WBC international super lightweight title.

Jordan Thompson would dominate Vasil Ducar for nine rounds of their fight, using his range and working behind his jab.

Thompson would be saved by the bell and survive to the victory by unanimous decision to pick up the IBF European cruiserweight title.
