  "account": "Pat Brown stopped John Hedges in the sixth round to win the vacant British and Commonwealth cruiserweight championship on Saturday at Manchester, England. Brown, a 7-0, 7 KOs talent and member of Team GB at the 2024 Paris Olympics, made his seventh professional fight a knockout. Brown defended his WBA/IBF International and Lonsdale belts in the fight, while Hedges suffered his first loss. The late Ricky Hatton would have been proud of Brown's performance, which drew praise from Hedges and Brown himself. Brown trained with Hatton as a young man and thanked his hometown fans, particularly his late cousin Ross, for their support. Brown's trainer Jamie Moore predicted a successful future for the young fighter, despite potential elbow surgery and other issues. Matchroom Sport promoter Eddie Hearn hailed Brown as a dangerous fighter and the biggest puncher in the division.",
