Jarvis stopped Ben Williams in a moment in which he did not even land a single punch on Thursday night.
23-year-old YouTube sensation Jarvis was defending his Misfits belt against Ireland’s Williams in Qatar on Thursday night.
It was Williams, however, who got off to a better start landing lethal combinations as both men traded leather in an energetic opening.
Jarvis did all he could to weather the storm from Williams in the second round as the Dublin native continued a ruthless onslaught.
Both men put a lot into the first two rounds, but the pace was getting the better of Williams as he grew slower and more rigid as the fight entered round three.
Jarvis, who trains at Floyd Mayweather‘s gym in Las Vegas, Nevada, stayed composed as the body language of both men looked dramatically different in the final round.
It was the champion who started to put his stamp on the fight, after arguably losing the first two rounds, when all of a sudden Williams hit the canvas.
Replays showed Jarvis didn’t even hit Williams as he twisted and turned en route to the floor, destroying his own ankle in the process.
Williams looked notably in pain and was carried out of the ring with the help of numerous people.
After the fight, Jarvis admitted he would be open to taking on Williams in a rematch once he had fully recovered.
“I knew he was a person that came out quickly and he did really well at the beginning,” he said speaking to DAZN.
“It just sucks how he goes out on his ankle, which was obviously not his decision.
“It sucks to win this way, I really wanted a knockout. He was probably winning the fights
“I think Ben Williams deserves a rematch after that… I’ll be happy to take that fight again.
“I was confident in that second round, I knew his punches weren’t hurting me.
“Unfortunately, I didn’t get the knockout I wanted, but Ben I wish you all the best and let’s run it back.”
