Streatham bantamweight Chris Bourke was stopped in the sixth round as he failed to land the British and Commonwealth belts on Friday night.
The 29-year-old was a big favourite to claim the two titles – which were both vacant.
But Lane – now 18-10-2 – poured on the pressure in the sixth round to force the referee’s intervention.
Bourke’s record drops to 13-2 and it is the second time he has come up short challenging for the domestic crown after being outpointed in 2022 by Marc Leach.
