Dixon used his physicality well, creating room before landing punches.

A sharp double jab followed by a right hand helped him sweep the second round across all five cards.

In the third round, Jadumani responded with greater urgency, working on body shots and landing a right cross-left jab combination.

However, Dixon answered back with a clean right uppercut and stayed composed during the furious exchanges in the closing seconds of the bout.
