Ring V: Inoue vs Picasso on DAZN PPV - Dec 27

Craig Richards and Dan Azeez were at a crossroads heading into their main event for Matchroom Boxing's first event in Ghana, which was seen live on DAZN.

Neither Richards nor Azeez could have afforded to lose, as a defeat would likely bring the curtain down on their respective careers.

After a close tilt through five rounds, it was Richards who pulled away with the better overall boxing and wore Azeez down with each passing minute. Eventually, it culminated with a flush left hook at the 23-second mark of the 12th round that sent Azeez to sleep and put him back into the thick of things at 175 pounds. DAZN News had Richards up 108-101 at the time of the stoppage.
