Charles Conwell TKO6 Nathaniel Gallimore... Ending a 17-month ring absence on Saturday night, 2016 Olympian Charles Conwell, 153 pounds, of Cleveland, OH, shook off any ring rust he may have had with a dominant stoppage win against Nathaniel Gallimore, 153 lbs., of Des Plaines, IL, at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center. Conwell staggered Gallimore in round two and, by the third, it was target practice. Gallimore, who himself was coming off a long layoff, had no legs and no head movement. He returned to his corner at the end of round three bleeding from his nose, mouth and right eye, which soon began to swell shut. Referee Arthur Mercante Jr. mercifully stopped the bout 52 seconds into round six. The TKO win improved Conwell’s record to 21-0 including the World Series of Boxing. Having won just two of his last nine fights, Gallimore is now 22-8-1 (17 KOs). Conwell had been ranked #1 by the WBC from June 2023 until this April when he was dropped to #3 to make room for Tim Tszyu and Errol Spence Jr. 

 

“I feel good,” said Conwell. “It was the coming back party. Gallimore came with a lot of experience. I don’t think any other fighter has beaten him as bad as I did. He was a tough fighter and I appreciate him for taking the fight. We’re looking to get back in the ring asap, sometime in July or August. I’m back in the gym getting better. The ring rust is off. We’re ready for what’s next.”
