Morecambe's Nelson Birchall remained undefeated in his professional career after a sizzling performance in Manchester.

'The Sexy One' crunched Rodrigo Aneco with a sickening body shot and the referee stopped the fight just over 90 seconds into the first round at the Co-Op Live on Saturday.

Featherweight Birchall moves to eight wins from his eight contests and continues to look like a future champion after Saturday's exciting display.

Aneco was in trouble right from the opening bell as Nelson dug in heavy-handed combinations to body and head, forcing the Argentinian to cover up on the ropes.

After getting through with a right hand to the body and uppercut to the head for the decisive finish, the Morecambe man celebrated with a mid-ring dance!

The fight was on the undercard of Filip Hrgovic's heavyweight contest against Joe Joyce.

Nelson's brothers William and Leighton are also undefeated professionals.

All three Birchalls are promoted by Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions.
