Daser moves to 13-0 with a career-best win, whilst Afolabi is now 22-6-4 after being stopped in action for the very first time in his 30 bouts.
Christian Hammer carded a decision win over Zine Eddine Benmakhlouf on the bill to continue his good progress, whilst super-lightweight Fatih Keles and super-welterweight Sebastian Formella both celebrated wins.

A crushing shot in the ninth saw Hryschuk complain of an injury to his face and the referee called off the contest to declare Masson the new champion.
