YORK ABC heavyweight John Crump floored Irishman Donal O'Reilly in the first round of his heavyweight contest at the Leeds Irish Centre.

Big-hitting Crump landed two left jabs and a big right-hand which would have floored an elephant to knock out O'Reilly after two earlier stoppages in an explosive fight.

O'Reilly received a standing count of eight not long after the first bell when he was left with blood pouring from his nose after several quality shots from Crump.

He was then knocked down twice before being counted out.

Crump will be back in the ring on April along with team-mates Jimmy Cooper and Ashley Martin.
