Overview
- Catterall closed the show after an exchange where the referee stepped in following an uppercut, then the bout resumed and a final flurry sent Essuman through the ropes.
- Essuman received oxygen at ringside before standing, and Catterall refrained from celebrating as medics attended to his opponent.
- The fight, staged as the co-main event to Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn II at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, ended 50 seconds into Round 11.
- Through 10 rounds the result remained in play, with Catterall controlling early and Essuman rallying late before the decisive finish.
- The victory was Catterall’s first knockout since 2019 and preserved his WBO Global welterweight belt, reinforcing his position in the WBO picture even though the bout was not an official eliminator.
