Indeed, Power got the job done within a round, securing his second stoppage win at the home of the Magyars.
Speaking online after the victory the nomadic prospect revealed the win would set him up nicely for a return to America.
“A first round KO tonight moves us to 6-0 (5KOs). I can’t begin to describe how great it feels to be back doing what I love most. The next stop is the US to keep this ball rolling.”
We’re back like we never left!

Pre pandemic the fighter, who fought four times whilst still in secondary school, secured a Sheer Sports contract, he also developed a working relationship with LA based South African coach Courage Tshabalala. It appears they will re-link up soon and the Cork talent will look to make his North American debut before 2021 is done.
The win sees Power improve to 6-0 with five knockouts.
