The 9-1 operator returned on the undercard of Josh Taylor vs Ekow Essuman, where he came up against David Jamieson for the Commonwealth title.
Having looked up to ferocious punching heavyweight Mike Tyson as a child, Junior knows exactly what a deadly KO looks like.
And Junior delivered on his heavy handed moniker, flattening his rival with a simply thunderous left hook.
Jamieson was flattened and put horizontally on his back immediately crashing to the deck.
His head bounced off the canvas in a nasty landing, letting out a dull thud audible on the broadcast.
The referee immediately waved off the contest with Jamieson conscious, but struggling to move his body.
Medics came into the ring in the case he needed treatment after the brutal KO, but luckily Jamieson was sat up after the crushing blow.
It was a simply sensational victory for Junior, who has earned further plaudits from the boxing fraternity.
Junior landed a mammoth 24 power punches and 25 jabs in the contest according to Compubox, showing his utter dominance.
It was a huge win and he will now look to push beyond Commonwealth level after retaining the belt.
He called out British rival Viddal Riley at the final, insisting he would beat ‘The Rilest’ who is on an unbeaten streak in the division.

The fight began at a decent pace with Junior controlling the early exchanges, using his jab and regularly looking to line up the dynamite right hand.
And Junior left his mark on Jamieson in the opener, first landing a body shot before a huge shot to the head, which saw the Scotsman drop to a knee.
He beat the count comfortably and was complaining of a shot to the back of the head, but the referee waved away his protests.
The second round saw Jamieson start to turn around and come forward himself letting his hands go with Junior this time forced to cover up.
But it was another whipping body shot which saw a second knockdown for Junior, as Jamieson collapsed to his knees again.
Luckily Jamieson was again able to clamber to his feet but things looked bleak as the bell sounded for the third.
And it was a thunderous shot that saw him close the show, with the left hand seeing Jamieson completely poleaxed.
It left a stunned silence around the previously vocal crowd, who had been backing the Scottish star throughout.
Whatever comes next for Junior, promoter Frank Warren is hugely excited about his unbelievable talent.
A stablemate of Moses Itauma and Anthony Joshua, Junior has serious promise under Ben Davison.
