In a display of sheer dominance and power, Sam Noakes claimed the British lightweight championship by stopping Lewis Sylvester in a one-sided battle that lasted five brutal rounds. With this victory, Noakes maintained his impeccable record of stopping every professional opponent he has faced, solidifying his reputation as a force to be reckoned with in the ring.

The stage was set for an intense showdown as Sylvester, known for his slick switch-hitting style, stepped into the ring against Noakes' relentless aggression. Despite Sylvester's best efforts to keep Noakes at bay, it was only a matter of time before the Maidstone native began to close the distance and impose his will.

From the opening bell, Noakes wasted no time asserting his dominance, walking through Sylvester's shots with determination and ferocity. A mighty right hand over the top signalled Noakes' intentions early on, setting the tone for the rest of the fight.

Despite Sylvester's resilience and tactical adjustments, he struggled to keep up with Noakes' relentless onslaught. As the rounds progressed, Noakes' relentless pressure began to take its toll, with Sylvester finding it increasingly difficult to withstand the barrage of punches raining down upon him.

The turning point came in the third round when a punishing left hook to the body sent Sylvester to the canvas, followed by another knockdown moments later. Though Sylvester managed to beat the count, it was clear that the end was near.

In the fourth round, Noakes intensified his assault, trapping Sylvester against the ropes and unleashing a relentless barrage of punches that left his opponent battered and defenceless. With Sylvester unable to mount any meaningful offence, his corner wisely threw in the towel, saving him from further punishment at 2 minutes and 10 seconds of the round.

Noakes' victory showcased his rough-and-tough fighting style and unwavering determination to overwhelm his opponents. At just 26 years old, Noakes has already proven himself to be a formidable force in the lightweight division, and his relentless aggression will undoubtedly pose a significant challenge to any opponent who dares to step into the ring with him.

With his sights set on future challenges, including a potential showdown with the winner of Gavin Gwynne's European title defence, Noakes has firmly established himself as a rising star in British boxing, destined for even greater heights in the sport.
