National Team debutant Najib Adams took on Bertie Oakes from Team England in the light heavyweight eight-finals.

After a slow start, the Allstar’s fighter landed a heavy right hand that rocked his opponent. Before the bell he landed another heavy shot but didn’t have time to follow up.

In the second round, the Swede landed a clean hook that eventually ended the fight. Adams will face Dzevad Baltic from Team Serbia in the semifinals.
