Joel Kodua, Alfie Clegg and Emmany Kalombo earned decisive wins on the non-televised portion of the Adam Azim-Sergey Lipinets undercard tonight.
The card, taking place at Wembley's OVO Arena in London, England, is being shown on Sky Sports in the UK and streaming on Peacock in the United States.
Garan Croft (2-0, 1 KO), just two fights into his professional career, rounded off the action with a four-round decision victory over Dmitri Protkunas (8-17-1, 1 KO).
Croft, trained by former WBA Lightweight champion Anthony Crolla, fought Protkunas (8-16-1, 1 KO) in a Junior Middleweight contest and came close to forcing a stoppage in the first round with a brutal flurry against the ropes.
But the fight went to the cards after a tough showing from Protkunas, with Croft winning 40-36 on the scorecard.
Peacock Gym's Joel Kodua (8-0, 1 KO) got off to a lightning start in his Welterweight contest with Lloyd Germain (9-3, 1 KO), scoring two knockdowns in the first round.
Flanked by Anthony Yarde and his trainer Tunde Ajayi, Kodua looked the more assured man from the off while Germain, trained by former IBF Featherweight champion Lee Selby, looked hesitant.
In the third round, more pressure from Kodua came Welshman Germain's way, and it finally paid off as a left hook from Kodua forced his opponent to the canvas for the third time in the contest.
Waved off by the referee almost instantly, Kodua kept his undefeated record intact, etching the first stoppage win of his career into the record books.
Super Flyweight contender Alfie Clegg (11-0-1, 2 KOs) looked every part his 'Classy' nickname in his six-round bout with Sebastian Castillo (7-5-1, 3 KOs), winning a comfortable decision.
Clegg spent the first round boxing on the back foot, with Castillo doing his best to close the gap. The visitor found his way in on one occasion, landing a meaty right hand, but Clegg absorbed much of its venom by expertly turning his head at the same time.
Cheered on by hundreds of his fans, many of them who couldn't have been older than the age 12, Clegg had his man backed up against the ropes on a couple of occasions in the third round, sending his legion of supporters into raptures with each right hand landed.
Boxing to orders for the remainder of the fight, Clegg really found his range in the sixth and final round, landing a beautifully-timed right hand to shake Castillo to his boots, before doing the same with a fierce uppercut moments later.
A decisive 60-54 scorecard in favour of Clegg was the reward for the Guildford man's work.
Billy Nelson-trained Emmany Kalombo (19-1, 18 KOs) took on Sergio Garcia Herrera (7-7, 4 KOs) and it was a quick night's work for the Congolese national.
Kalombo, who competes at Junior Middleweight, looked much the bigger man in there for the two minutes and fifty-eight seconds of ring time he shared with his opponent.
With the bell fast approaching in the first round, Kalombo whipped a menacing right hand to Herrera's body; the force enough for the Mexican to crumble to the canvas. Unable to answer the count, Kalombo was awarded the first-round KO victory.
On deck first at Wembley Arena was Hassan Azim (8-0, 4 KOs), the older brother of main event man Adam. Azim hadn't been in action since a win over Ruben Angulo in the summer of 2023.
Tonight, with a new training team in the corner, while Shane McGuigan watched on and shouted instructions from the front row, Hassan made it eight professional wins over four rounds against Jensen Irving (4-20-2). 40-36 read the referee's card.
