Tony Milch believes he answered his doubters after ending the year with another win.

Milch made it 12 wins from 12 after a fourth round KO against Ferenc Katona at York Hall.

The Hungarian arrived with a strong repuation but he was floored thanks to strong right-hand.

Milch said: "I've ended the year with my best performance of the lot. People have said I have the skills and speed but do I have the power.

"This knockout win proves that.

"It was clinical performance and a great shot. I've not won three times in 2016, including a title, and I couldn't have done more than that."

The Bushey brusier sent Katona to the canvas to continue his impressive start to life as a professional boxer.

Now he is targeting a step up in the future when he returns to the ring next year.

He added: "I've proved myself at national level and I'm now I am looking for the next level. I don't want to do be doing small shows any longer. I've had 12 fights now and this was my best performance.

"I'm looking for sponsorship now. That's the next step and I'd be willing to travel overseas for fights. The plan is to be back in the ring by February."
