00:00 You both know the rules, we'll be following the instructions in the dressing rooms.

00:04 Remember to obey my commands at all times.

00:06 Above all, protect yourselves at all times.

00:08 Schutzglück, lads.

00:09 Okay.

00:10 27-year-old Nathaniel Collins being given a hug by his trainer.

00:19 Comes from Bearsden, near Glasgow.

00:24 Raza Hamza from Birmingham.

00:29 Been training in Wales for this one, Raza,

00:31 saying he's been away from distractions, he's been away from his family as well.

00:36 He's not seen his daughter, Lana, for four weeks.

00:39 And down he goes in the opening seconds, my goodness, what a start.

00:44 And the referee's looking, it could be all over right here.

00:48 First punts of the fight, and it is!

00:50 It's finished.

00:52 The first meaningful punt, and it's all over.

00:55 Incredible stuff, good right hook from Collins.

00:58 That's caught Raza Hamza, just caught him cold.

01:02 It was a terrific shot, well timed,

01:05 and Nathaniel Collins has produced a cracking punch indeed.

01:09 A lot of power on it, but it was a definite right hook around the guard of Raza Hamza.

01:14 Like I said, just caught him cold and he couldn't recover,

01:17 so what a performance that is from Collins.

01:20 Well, where you couldn't believe that that came as quickly as it did.

01:25 27 years old, Nathaniel, his fourth defence of the Commonwealth title,

01:30 defending the British title as well for the first time that he won in his last contest.

01:38 And let's take another look, Richie.

01:40 So he's gone to the body there, just backed him up into the corner onto the ropes,

01:43 and then just whipped a shot over the top, it's sort of a hook straight right.

01:48 Let's have a look at it here from this angle.

01:50 It's an awkward sort of shot.

01:52 Is it a long gel? It's just a long sort of chopping right hand over the guard of Raza Hamza.

01:58 It's him right on the point of the chin, let's have a look at it from here.

02:02 Right round, and you can see his head, the way he just jolted to the side,

02:07 so it's right on the point of the chin.

02:09 Yeah, a cracking shot indeed, and there must be a lot of power in that shot.

02:13 Raza Hamza caught cold, could not recover.

02:16 I saw this week that Nick Ball, the Liverpool lad,

02:22 has been installed as the WBC number one challenger.

02:27 And who knows, a fight against Nathaniel Collins, that could be something very special.

02:33 Roy Vargas currently holds the WBC title,

02:37 but Collins, he is putting himself right in the mix.

02:42 Yes, he is, and if Nick Ball can get that world title shot,

02:45 and Nick Ball is a real handful, I think he is good enough to win a world title.

02:50 If he wins a world title, what about a defence against Nathaniel Collins?

02:53 That would be an absolute cracking contest, and I'm sure both boxers would relish it.

02:58 The British boxing public would certainly relish it, and why not?

03:02 But that's further down the road.

03:04 Tonight, Nathaniel Collins has produced a tremendous shot.

03:07 Great first round, and he's won a good contest there.

03:11 There were whispers that he was tight at the weight, and that the further the fight goes,

03:15 the more he might suffer.

03:17 Well, when it goes as quickly as that, he can be as tight as he like.

03:22 He's caught him with that shot as the over the guard of Raza Hamza.

03:26 Wasn't expecting it, but it was right on the point of the chin.

03:30 Superb stuff.

03:32 The fighters are now with the referee, and all that remains is for Dev Sarni

03:37 to confirm that dramatic first round knockout.

03:41 Ladies and gentlemen, at the time of 24 seconds in the very first round,

03:50 your referee Kevin Parker calls a halt to this contest.

03:54 Therefore, your winner by knockout, and still British and Commonwealth featherweight champion,

04:04 Nathaniel "The Nightmare" Collins!

04:12 When you talk about British champions, you think about people like Howard Winston,

04:16 like Barry McGuigan, like Scott Harrison, all of them who became world champions.
