With the pair initially set to fight twice before this encounter, the third time was the charm as they had an opportunity to settle their feud in the ring at Planet Ice in Altrincham.

The two had their first encounter planned for April 2024 but this did not happen as Vuong pulled out of the fight due to a suffering a shoulder injury.

The fight had to be pushed forward by two months and for the second time it was not to be as this time it was Flynn that suffered a knee injury in what he said was his final sparring session of camp. With the injury needing surgery, the contest had to be postponed for the second time.

With the third time being the charm, and both fighters having an opportunity to compete for a title for the first time in their professional careers, the long wait proved to be worth it as the pair did not disappoint.

It only took seven rounds for Vuong to take apart his opponent and claim victory to become the WBO European lightweight title holder. Before this match, both fighters were undefeated.

Since those two bouts were cancelled, Vuong has been busy adding up to his winning records with a win at Wembley against Joe Underwood Hughes and more recently against Gavin Gwynne at Resorts World Arena, Birmingham.

During the first round, Vuong, now (8-0, 4 KOs), came out aggressively taking the center of the ring with a long stiff jab, but Flynn now (11-1-1, 1KO) fought back in the hope of asserting himself early.

As the match continued, Vuong grew confident and took advantage of his long jabs managing to knock down Flynn in the third round. In the fifth round Vuong slipped the oncoming attacks well and delivered sharp counters and this was met by cheers from the Altrincham crowd.

In the sixth round Flynn was visibly hurt after he was pushed to a corner followed by a right hand into his face. He tried to take a step back to breathe but the youngster Vuong did not allow that, smashing in a right hand and an uppercut only for Flynn to be helped by the sound of the bell moments later.

It was in the seventh round that right followed by an uppercut lifted Flynn off his feet and the referee Foster decided that he had seen enough therefore jumped in to spare Flynn any further punishment.
