David Adeleye calls out favouritism as Linus Udofia set for title challenge
Linus Udofia is set for a title fight as David Adeleye calls out favoritism.
Adeleye hadn't fought since October of the previous year when Fabio Wardley stopped him after seven rounds.
However, the heavyweight knocked out Dacres with a highlight reel left hook to make a devastating comeback to the ring.
Adeleye, who was boxing for the first time under trainer Adam Booth, had dominated the jab exchanges right from the start.
Before the terrifying conclusion, he had already landed with one painful right hand to the body.
The damage was caused by a single left hook to the head this time, and Dacres staggered back towards the ropes before falling.

Replays revealed that the shot hand had struck him high on the head and upset his balance, even though it did not first appear to have landed cleanly.
Referee Darren Sarginson gave Adeleye the win after realizing Dacres was having problems immediately.
The 28-year-old is the new English heavyweight champion with a record of 13-1.
