Jessica McCaskill retained the lineal/WBC/WBA/IBF/WBO welterweight championships by overwhelmed Calgary’s Kandi Wyatt, scoring a seventh-round stoppage to defend her crown.

In round seven, consecutive punches from McCaskill was enough for the referee to step in and rescue Wyatt (10-4, 3KOs) from absorbing additional punishment.
McCaskill-Wyatt was one of two title fights on Saturday’s DAZN telecast. Headlining the show, WBC lightweight champ Devin Haney (27-0, 15KOs) faces WBC interim beltholder Joseph ‘JoJo’ Diaz (32-1-1, 15KOs) in a title consolidation clash.
