Russell stopped Postol in the tenth round

Undefeated 2016 Olympic Super Lightweight Gary Antoine Russell (15-0, 15 KOs) achieved an early victory by technical knockout in the tenth round over the former world champion Viktor Postol (31-4, 12 KOs) on the undercard of the Colbert-Garcia fight in Las Vegas.

Gary Antoine Russell, brother of former WBC featherweight champion Gary Russell Jr., 29 seconds before the end of the 10-round fight, was able to shock the 38-year-old Ukrainian and referee Mike Ortega quickly signaled the stop, maintaining Russell's series of early victories. Postol was unhappy with the stop.

“My performance speaks for itself,” Russell said. - Postol went the whole distance with Terence Crawford, and I stopped him. I think I'm ready for one more fight before the chance for the title."

Postol went to the duel with thoughts of his wife and two five-year-old twin sons in Brovary, which are now at the site of a massive invasion of Russian troops into Ukraine.
