Taz Nadeem blasts out opponent in 61 seconds
Taz Nadeem took just over a minute to see off opponent Bill Gayles
Boxers don't get paid overtime.
And you won't see Rotherham's Taz Nadeem hanging about when he can get the job done quickly.
On Saturday night, at the Bowlers Exhibition Centre, Manchester, the 26-year-old from Moorgate, a butcher by trade, flattened his opponent in no less than 61 seconds.
It must have taken Chesterfield's Bill Gayles longer to put his gloves on than it did to fall to the flashing fists of the light heavyweight powerhouse.
Not that it's Bill's fault - it was his debut as a late replacement and it never looked likely to be the best match-up ever devised.
Referee Jamie Kirkpatrick was relieved to bring an end to Gayles' painful experience, which thankfully for him was never going to go the scheduled six rounds.
It was Taz's 10th victory, and sixth knockout – the first stoppage of a calendar year that has seen the 26-year-old move gyms, leaving his home town to train under Joe Gallagher at Gallagher's Champs Camp in Moss Side, Manchester.
Afterwards, the South Yorkshireman said it was the second-fastest TKO of his professional career, the first being his debut, when he despatched Sergey Bannov back to the dressing room in 19 seconds.
He said the opponent that he had initially planned to fight had pulled out a few days before the show.
The win, and no injuries, meant he would be back in action on November 7, he said.
Black Flash Promotions, who hosted the bill, posted: ""The Butcher gets the job done. A clinical performance sees The Butcher go 10-1."
Gallaghers gym noted: "Gone in 61 Seconds!"
Meanwhile, Dinnington super welterweight Charlie Ellis's next fight has been confirmed for Friday, November 20 at the Magna Centre.
His first six-rounder will be a local affair against Doncaster journeyman Jake Smith.
The contest is the first to be announced on the undercard of Rotherham born Conner Kelsall's European flyweight title defence against Chesterfield's Liam Dring.
