Roc Nation Sports fighter Junior Younan (15-0, 10 KO’s) dominated in his return to the ring on Saturday, toppling rugged journeyman Derrick Findley (30-25, 20 KO’s) by way of unanimous decision on the Bivol vs. Smith / Hooker vs. LesPierre undercard at Turning Stone Resort & Casino in Verona, N.Y.
For most of the evening, Younan controlled the tempo against Findley – who last fought on August 12, 2018. The win marked Younan’s fifth win by TKO.
“I feel good about this win,” said Younan. “Derrick Findley is a very tough guy and I think I handled it well and showcased my growth. I want to thank my dad, my strength and conditioning coach and the New York Sports Science Lab for all the hard work, love and support.”
Younan, a Brooklyn, N.Y. native, is viewed as one of New York’s brightest boxing prospects. Younan’s prior fight, saw him defeat Evert Bravo (24-9, 18 KO’s) via a first-round TKO.
With the win over Findley and a consistent string of prior victories, Younan positions himself at the top of the light heavyweight division moving into future matches.
