Unbeaten lightweight Nadeem Siddique claimed his fifth stoppage win as a professional in Aberdeen.

The Bradford fighter extended his record to 21-0 against Frenchman Salaheddine Sarhani, who had no answer to Siddique's body shots.

Beaten Sarhani called it a day towards the end of the fourth of the scheduled six rounds.

Siddique's manager John Ingle said: "The other kid could punch a bit and fancied himself but once Sid caught him in the body you could see the fight go out of him.

"Sid boxed well and now he's on the undercard for Junior Witter next month."

Siddique will face Blackburn's Dezzy Higginson in the Nottingham Arena show on May 10.
