Gennady Golovkin has retained his WBA middleweight title and unbeaten record with a commanding performance against Britain's Martin Murray.
Making his third title defence, the hard-hitting Kazakh stopped Murray in the 11th round of a one-sided contest in Monaco on Saturday night.
Golovkin has now stopped his last 19 opponents, and is unbeaten in 32 fights with 29 knockouts.
Prince Albert of Monaco was among the crowd as Murray withstood some heavy punishment, and showed courage to try and trade blow with Golovkin.
Golovkin put him down for the third time with a huge right hook in the 10th, but Murray beat the count and was saved by the bell.
It was only a temporary reprieve as Golovkin finished things off early in the 11th, and this time the referee stopped the contest.
"He was very strong, he was a perfect opponent for me," the 32-year-old Golovkin said. Murray, who is the same age, lost for the second time in his 32nd fight.
