Dynamite-punching light-heavyweight Anthony Yarde has gatecrashed the WBO's top-10 world rankings.
It took the Ilford man less than a round to demolish latest victim Richard Baranyi earlier this month as he claimed the WBO European strap and a number eight world ranking with the organisation.
"It did go completely to plan, the only thing that didn’t was I said I was going to stop him with a straight right hand," he joked after his demolition job.
"I dropped him with one but he got up and I was a bit upset from that and that’s why I was aggressive after that.
"All of my hard work is paying off," added Yarde. "I don't put a time limit on anything. As I always say, everything is timing.
"Everyone knows that I only focus on myself. I still haven't shown anywhere near my full potential, I'm looking forward to stepping it up now.
"I feel good, I feel healthy and I feel fit. I can't wait to get back under the lights on September 16."
