Former Team GB standout Cyrus Pattinson (6-0, 4 KOs) faced his toughest test so far in the professional ranks against Wales’ former British Welterweight Champion Chris Jenkins (23-7-3, 8 KOs) – with the pair clashing for the vacant WBA International Title. 

Pattinson broke down and stopped Jenkins in the in the ninth round.

Alnwick’s Pattinson hasn’t put a foot wrong since turning over in Newcastle back in June 2021, winning all six of his contests – with four coming by way of knockout – and the 28-year-old southpaw picked up the vacant IBO Continental Title last time out in Nottingham.
