Iman Barlow's world-title success thrilled a sell-out crowd at the Sarson Centre in Melton Mowbray.

The 16-year-old claimed the vacant WKA women's semi-pro title at 54kgs with a points win over Belgian champion Nathalie Visschers.

Barlow's opponent towered over her, and after having a look at Visschers in the opening round she stepped up her attacks in the second.

The teenager from the Melton Assassins gym was quicker to the punch and Visschers was glad to hear the fifth and final bell.

The judges' scorecards revealed that Barlow won the fight with a clean sweep of the last three rounds and dad and coach Mark Barlow said: "I thought Iman won every round, but she won the fight and that's all that matters."

Barlow's next fight looks set to be in Thailand where her performances on national television have made her a celebrity.

The best fight of the show was the clash between Melton debutant Adam Green and Fabian Parloki from Derby. Green was just edged out on points after a ferocious toe-to-toe battle.

His clubmate, Aaron Watson, gained revenge on the same bill.

Watson had twice just lost out to Joe Boffy in previous clashes, but this time dominated from the opening bell and forced a third-round stoppage.

Joe North also sent his fans home happy with a points win over Steve Clarke from Derby, and junior Kane Chamberlain stopped Josh Varley in the third round of a tough fight.

Tyree Stevens overwhelmed his opponent in the opening round to chalk up a quick win on his debut, and Troy Attewell was another first-round winner, while Luke Kelly won on points.

Shazan Dada showed promise in his losing debut.
