Walker landed a takedown and gradually wore down the former IBO champion before the referee stepped in at 1:59 of the tenth round, with Eggington taking sustained punishment and no longer defending himself.
The early rounds were competitive. Walker knocked out Eggington’s mouthpiece in the second during a close exchange. By the fourth, both fighters were trading heavy, with Eggington having the better of it at times. He continued to land straight uppercuts over the fourth and fifth rounds as Walker struggled to respond consistently.
Walker started to turn the fight in the sixth, pushing Eggington to the ropes and letting his hands go in front of a vocal crowd. The pace remained high until the seventh, where Eggington suffered cuts over both eyes. Walker was also cut between the eyes in the eighth, but that same round proved decisive when he dropped Eggington with a body blow late for an eight count.
The ninth was fought at close range with both men bleeding and trading blows, but Eggington’s resistance began to fade. In the tenth, Walker got hurt and returned, and with just over a minute left, the referee stopped the fight.
In the co-feature, Bilal “The Machine” Fawaz stopped Ryan Kelly after nine rounds of their scheduled twelve. Kelly started well and worked Fawaz early, but a cut from a clash of heads in the third began to affect him. Fawaz found success with uppercuts in the fourth and took control in parts of the fifth and sixth as Kelly absorbed heavy punishment.
Fawaz increased the pressure in the later rounds, landing freely as Kelly closed. By the ninth, Kelly was taking clean shots without offering enough in return, and his corner stopped the fight between rounds.
IBO super flyweight champion Shannon “Kaos” Ryan needed just two rounds to stop Nicola “Hurricane” Hopewell. Ryan dominated the opening round and finished the fight in the second after dropping Hopewell with a right hand, prompting the referee to wave it.
Tiah Mai Ayton continued her strong run with a fourth round stoppage of Stevi Levy. Ayton controlled the action throughout and forced the stoppage after hurting Levy with a right hand, leading Levy’s corner to intervene.
Junaid Bostan won an eight-round decision over Mohammed Graich, with the referee scoring it 80-72. Louie Ward took a four-round decision over Jesus Carrasco, scoring 40-36.
Harley Burrows defeated Lewis Howells over four rounds and scored a takedown in the second with a body blow. Burrows controlled the fight from there, winning a 40-35 decision.
