The middleweight ended several years on the fringes of the Top 10 by halting the heavily favoured Matt Korobov in Las Vegas in December to claim the WBO title.

That glorious coronation, achieved via sixth round stoppage, came on the back of a stunning win over John Jackson which you voted our Knockout of the Year.
