He won every round of a six-round contest and showcased his skills against a durable but outclassed opponent who is a former Northern Area champion.
Simpson, meanwhile, was up against Boris Crighton on the bill headlined by Savannah Marshall’s fight with Franchon Crews-Dezurnat Manchester Arena

Hide AdIt was the first time he has been taken the distance since his second pro contest, but it took his record to 12 wins from 12 in the pro ranks.
Afterwards he said: "I felt I kept the full 10 rounds at a decent pace and I spoke to Boris and he said he was impressed with how many shots I threw.
"It was a good invaluable experience and I’m ready for the next step up now.
"I felt like I had him hurt a few times.
"He’d stopped seven out of 10 opponents so we knew he’s a big puncher, but I took a good shot off him, come back with my shots and felt good.

Hide Ad"I did the 10 rounds quite comfortably and I felt like I pushed all the way through as well.
“I think I maybe rushed it a bit too much trying to stop him, but it was my 12th fight, I went 10 solid rounds and I’m looking for titles now.”
