Amir Khan bounced back in sensational style by hammering Oisin Fagan in two brutal rounds at London’s ExCel.
Khan, 21, put down his Irish opponent twice in the opening round and the punishment continued thereafter.
The Bolton lightweight dominated with a series of fine combinations and rarely let Fagan breach his defence.
With Fagan failing to cope with Khan's power, the bout was stopped after one minute, 27 seconds of round two.
"I knew where I went wrong against Breidis Prescott," Amir told Sky Sports.
"Fagan is a fighter who doesn't go down. Look at his record, I don't think anyone has done that to him.
"My team told me to pace myself, not to go for the knockout, that it would come itself. That's what I did.
"I said whoever I was going to fight, that I was going to be the worst opponent they can have.
"I was a bit more nervous than normal but I was relaxed and chilled out."
