Amir Khan (right) is making the first defence of his WBA light-welterweight title against New Yorker Dmitriy Salita in Newcastle. The Bolton man's challenger is unbeaten in 31 fights, but is an unknown quantity
Khan, who comes into the encounter with one defeat from 22 professional fights, has Salita down after just 10 seconds, catching him cold with a lightning-fast left-right combination
Salita manages to get to his feet, but the 22-year-old Khan continues his bombardment and the referee calls a halt to proceedings after just 76 seconds of the first round at the Metro Radio Arena
Khan, who has turned his career around since being knocked out by Breidis Prescott last September, may now launch an assault on the United States, where he has trained with Freddie Roach for the past year
On the undercard, unbeaten Dagenham fighter Kevin Mitchell produces a classy display to take a clear, unanimous points decision over Colombia's Breidis Prescott, the man who knocked out Amir Khan in less than a minute a year ago
Former World Amateur champion Frankie Gavin, right, finds himself in a war of attrition with France's Samir Tergaoui but comes through to register a fifth straight stoppage
Gavin's former amateur colleague James DeGale (right), gold medallist at the Bejing Olympics, also tastes victory, albeit an unconvincing four-round points decision over Welshman Nathan King
Billy Joe Saunders (right), in his first six-round fight, is taken all the way by Lee Noble, but the 20-year-old Hatfield boxer earns a comprehensive points victory
