Referee denies towel throw-in before Garber's knockout loss to Olaniyan

On October 17, 2026, referee Amy Pu refused two towel throw-ins from Dan Garber's corner during his fight against Adam Olaniyan at London's O2 Arena. After surviving the first round, Garber was knocked down early in the second. His corner attempted to stop the bout, but Pu overruled their decision, allowing the fight to continue. Moments later, Olaniyan connected with a decisive blow that led to another towel throw, which Pu also denied before eventually stopping the fight herself. Garber ultimately suffered a knockout loss, bringing his record to 14-10 while Olaniyan improved to 5-0 as a professional.
