STOURBRIDGE'S Sam Eggington continued his rise up the super-welterweight ranks when stopping Peter Kramer at Villa Park.

The Savage handed the Hungarian his first defeat in front of a packed Holte Suite last Saturday.

Eggington forced the stoppage in the fourth round to make it two from two since stepping up to 154lb.

He built on April's success over Achilles Szabo and will now begin preparations for another Birmingham show in September.

Eggington is due to feature on the undercard of Amir Khan's fight with Samuel Vargas at Arena Birmingham on September 8, live on Sky Sports.

Bill topper Khan is back in action following his blistering return to the ring in April in Liverpool, destroying Phil Lo Greco in just 39 seconds after nearly two years out of action.

The former unified super-lightweight ruler is setting his sights on welterweight world honours this year and steps up that pursuit in Birmingham when he meets Canadian based Colombian Vargas, the 29 year old ranked number 10 in the WBA and having shared the ring with current IBF king Errol Spence and Khan’s old foe Danny Garcia.

The evening is also due to see Rowley Regis' Jason Welborn defend his British Middleweight title in a rematch with Tommy Langford.
