Luke Campbell wasted little time in starting his pro career with a win.
The Olympic champion needed just 88 seconds to beat Andy Harris in debut that started after midnight.
Fans who stayed up didn't have long to wait before cheering Campbell.
Harris was on the canvas early in the opening round as he struggled to cope with the big fight atmosphere.
Campbell had his man down again before the referee stepped in to save Harris from further damage.
According to his promoter Eddie Hearn, Campbell will fight each month from September until the turn of the year.
Tommy Coyle lost his Commonwealth title fight with Derry Mathews but gave one of the bravest fights in years.
Coyle was in control of the fight and leading with just two rounds remaining.
But a brilliant left hook from Mathews knocked Coyle to the canvas and was counted out with less than 20 seconds remaining in the 10th.
It was a heartbreaking end for Coyle who deserved to win. He took the fight to Mathews early on and connected with a number of brilliant combinations.
His defence was solid too but just as it looked as though he was closing in on victory, Mathews struck with devastating effect.
For the second time in a year, Kell Brook beat Carson Jones but this time it was by way of an eighth round stoppage.
Lee Selby is the new international featherweight champion after a points decision over Romanian Viorel Simion.
Selby was made to work all the way for his win against a stubborn opponent. There was very little between the two boxers throughout, but Selby just did enough to take the decision.
Zac Collins remains undefeated after a fourth round stoppage of Surrey's Ross Payne.
Collins edged the first round before losing his way in the second. But he regained control of the fight in the third finding his range with a series of good combinations.
At the start of the fourth, he had Payne on the canvas with a superb punch. Moments later, as Payne took a barrage of punches, the referee stepped in to call a halt to the fight.
Collins' record now stands at seven wins and a draw from his eight fights.
Driffield's Curtis Woodhouse promised fireworks in his lightweight fight against Joe Elfidh and he delivered with a stunning performance.
Woodhouse had his opponent on the canvas in the opening round as he took control of the fight right from the first bell.
In the second round, Elfidh was again floored by the power of Woodhouse who was making the fight look easy.
Former footballer Woodhouse completed his hat-trick of knockdowns, 50 seconds from the end of round three. The referee had no choice but to end the damage being done to Elfidh.
Woodhouse's pro record is now 19 wins from 24 fights, 13 of his wins now coming from knock-outs.
Hull's Joel Haigh kept his unbeaten record after starting the 'Homecoming' with a 38-38 draw against Youssef Al Hamidi at MS3 Craven Park.
Haigh started brightly winning the first two rounds comfortably as he picked his punches well.
But Haigh looked to tire in the evening heat as Al Hamidi came back strongly to take the final two rounds.
Haigh's record now stands at seven wins and a draw from his eight professional fights.
Anthony Ogogo ended Gary Boulden's challenge 33 seconds into the fifth round when the referee stopped the fight. Boulden took some stick before Ogogo claimed his third win from three.Campbell to make debut
