Wansbeck Warriors boxer Dan Wilkins was a man on a mission as he won his second ever boxing fight inside the first minute at the Lancastrian Suite in Gateshead.

Wilkins – whose debut fight saw him defeat Chris Trotter after a stoppage in the second round – again had his hand raised after flooring Dylan Scorer with the fight finishing after only seven seconds.

Wilkins made a beeline for his opponent straight from the bell.

His first three shots were double jabs with his right hand and he very quickly put Scorer on the ropes.

Two heavy shots to the body sent his opponent to the canvas before the referee stepped in to call an end to the contest.

Next up for Wilkins will be boxing four rounds for a title belt on July 20. On the same bill will be his stable mate Josh Johnstone, with coach Alan Buller declaring: “We’re looking forward to it and it’ll be a date not to be missed.”
