Tom Dallas powered his way to a 13th straight heavyweight victory with a first round knock-out on Saturday night.

The Chatham boxer (pictured) put German opponent Werner Kreiskott on the canvas three times in the opening round before referee Ritchie Davies stopped the contest.

Kreiskott, who had taken highly-rated Martin Rogan the distance in his previous bout, was unable to cope with the body blows which 6ft 6in Dallas bombarded him with at the Brentwood Centre.

Dallas is ranked 13th in the UK and promoter Frank Maloney has offered any of those above him to come and see if they can match his fighter.

"He needs to be moved up in class and we accept that," said Maloney.

"That fight was a step up and I don’t care what anyone says. He (Kreiskott) went the distance with Martin Rogan and everyone was raving about him recently so it shows Tom has the punching power and the finishing power.

Dallas’ next fight is likely to be at Gillingham’s Medway Park complex as he tops the bill in a ‘Men of Kent’ special on Friday, March 18.
