Win Methods
"Pretty Boy". That's what they call Josh Kelly, and sits on the super welterweight throne, the pride of England. Getting there took 18 wins; staying there is the hard part, and so far nobody has an answer.
He mixes it well — 9 stoppages against 9 decisions. Enough pop to keep opponents honest, enough craft to win the rounds when the knockout doesn't come.
He arrives on a 5-fight win streak — most recently Bakhram Murtazaliev, Decision (Majority). Streaks like that don't stay unnoticed for long.
