The SSE Arena, Belfast, Northern Ireland. Local superstar prospect ex-challenger Michael Conlan (18-1, 9 KOs) knocked out ex-European champion in two weights and ex-challenger Frenchman Karim Guerfi (31-7, 9 KOs) in the opening round.
Conlan shook his opponent with a blow to the body, drove him to the ropes, beat him until he collapsed onto the canvas. Gurphy struggled to his feet, but the referee thought he had seen enough.
