Rising Morecambe boxer Nelson Birchall has celebrated what he described as a "cheeky, naughty, saucy knockout".

The undefeated super featherweight made it nine wins out of nine with another impressive win, defeating Federico Sebastian Pedraza in the first round.

This was 'The Sexy One's third first round stoppage win in a row, as he sent his Argentinian opponent to the canvas with a flurry of heavy blows capped by a delicious uppercut.

After the fight at Planet Ice in Altrincham on Saturday, Birchall told IFL TV that he was ready for a title chance.

"I don't go for any knockout, I take my time," said the 20-year-old from Morecambe.

"But if I take them out early in dramatic fashion, I do that. I do like those cheeky, naughty, saucy knockouts.

"I've always been naturally heavy handed but it's more the hard work I've put in. Nothing comes overnight. I work hard and the rest will follow."

Nelson's brothers Leighton and William are also undefeated as professional boxers.
