Raymond Ford had a great performance in the undercard of Matchroom’s Fight Camp Week 3 this Saturday and conquered the Continental Featherweight title of the World Boxing Association (WBA) by defeating the British Reece Bellotti by TKO in the third round.

Ford made his second professional fight in England and his first since 2019. The 22-year-old encountered an aggressive opponent in Bellotti but was able to decipher his rival fast to win early in the fight.

The American knew how to walk the ring and attack his opponent with combinations. In the third round, he connected Bellotti on a counterattack and put him in a vulnerable condition, he went on the attack and, given the amount of punches he was connecting, the referee decided that it was enough.

It is the first professional title won by Ford, who is the new continental champion of the pioneer body. Also, he got his ninth victory, while he has a draw and 5 KOs. For his part, Bellotti now has a record of 14 wins, 5 losses, and 12 KOs.
