Saint Lucia’s time was unfortunately pretty short at the AIBA Men’s World Boxing Championships in Belgrade, Serbia.

Ryan ‘Run Em Over’ Charles, who trains in the United Kingdom, was entered in the super heavyweight division, over 92kg or 200 pounds.

In his opening bout, Charles, who turns 34 next week, went up against Germany’s Nelvie Tiafack.

The 22-year-old German put in one of the most dominant performances of the day, increasing his tempo, hitting cleanly, and forcing the referee to end the contest in the second round.
