Demonstrating superior boxing skills, Allicock secured a dominant victory as the referee intervened early in the second round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next in line for the Guyanese pugilist is a match against American Jahmal Harvey on Monday, set to commence at 17:15. Allicock remains resolute and expressed his focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;My confidence is always in God. That&#8217;s where I go just to settle, that&#8217;s what I plan to do,&#8221; stated Allicock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Alesha Jackman went head-to-head with 31-year-old Lucia Perez of Argentina.
