Vasiliy Lomachenko has claimed the vacant IBF lightweight world title with a one-sided TKO victory over George Kambosos in Perth, Australia.

The Ukrainian legend was clearly the more skilled fighter on the night and eventually got the Australian out of there late in the 11th round.

Kambosos had been beaten from pillar to post over the preceding 10 rounds before he wore yet another left to the head which sent him to the canvas, although it was initially ruled a slip.

Upon the restart, Lomachenko switched his target to the body and dropped Kambosos twice more before Jim Kambosos, the father of the former unified champion threw in the towel.

Earlier, Cherneka Johnson dethroned Nina Hughes to take the WBA bantamweight title, although the majority decision was initially announced as a win for the incumbent champion.

To start the main card, Pedro Guevara took out a close split-decision victory over Andrew Moloney to see him take out the interim WBC super flyweight title.

Frustrated by the decision, an emotional Moloney announced a shock retirement.
