A large group of Bevan’s supporters populated a section in the upper tier of the arena on Saturday.

They were easy to spot, all wearing branded red t-shirts and chanting their fighter’s name as the contest got under way.

It has become a familiar sight at each of his fights so far, and Bevan believes it is just the start.

“The support so far has been amazing and it is what motivates me when I’m training,” he told BBC Sport.

“I know people have paid their hard-earned money to come and watch me box, travelling over the country and taking time off work. I hope I’m doing everyone proud.

“The demand for each fight gets more and more, as my career progresses I think it will increase.”

Even his promoter Hearn has been impressed by the backing so far, addressing Bevan’s fans on the microphone in the ring after the stoppage.

He teased that they would only need to take a short drive down the road to see him in action next.

“The support is just unbelievable,” Hearn told BBC Sport.

“People ask, at what point do we get excited about Taylor Bevan? And I say to them about a year ago!

“There will be an announcement this week about his next fight and it will be on the south coast which will be nice for him, he’ll [hopefully] be on a card in Bournemouth and it’s a step for him to keep building his career and fanbase.

“We have been in talks with Queensberry and we will let them make the announcement and hopefully Taylor Bevan will be on that (Garner v Bellotti) card.”
