The electrician Josh Padley finally stopped by Shakur Stevenson after being shot three times in the ninth round, since Brit presents a brave performance in just four days in advance

Shakur Stevenson beat Josh Padley in Saudi Arabia, forcing the British corner to throw in the towel after an attack of the ninth round.

However, it was Padley who won the hearts of the crowd in Riyadh and boxing fans worldwide.

Padley may have been the last helpless who addresses this clash with a three -weight world champion, but he adapted quite well to the conditions in the opening round.

Stevenson was feeling Yorkshire's fighter, but the champion took the second round to get some significant blows with his great speed and precision.

Nine rounds passed with Padley's courage illuminating the contest before Stevenson finally put it on the canvas with a spiteful body shot. Unfortunately, it was just a minute later before Stevenson went down again with exactly the same shot.

Padley did as good as he crossed nine rounds. His will was certainly not the problem

Thirty seconds later, and Padley was thrown by the same shot again and his corner did not want to see more. The towel was thrown, but Padley's stock only grew in the defeat.

Padley came home from a turn as an electrician and left his truck at the airport to make Saudi Arabia the last minute and take his place in this world title contest after Floyd Schofield fell ill.

Padley shows a tattoo of Mike Tyson in action throughout his back, ironically, the victim of one of the greatest discomfort in the history of boxing when Buster Douglas dethroned him in 1990.

Despite a brave and entrepreneurial work of the helpless, I could not carve an annoyance in Riyadh.

It marks the first defeat of Padley's career. The 29-year-old now has 15-1, but will undoubtedly ensure more opportunities after this brave presentation.

A payment day of £ 500,000 for its efforts will surely offer a small consolation.
