At the Victoria Warehouse in Manchester on Saturday night, a thrilling headliner saw Gorton’s Ryan Doyle win the vacant BBBofC English Featherweight Title by outpointing Ian Bailey of Slough over 10 hard-fought rounds (99-90; 98-91; 97-93)

Bailey was on the canvas in the opening round but kept going to provide a challenging ten rounds for ‘Ruthless’ Doyle. Another notable shot came from Doyle in the third – when a shot caught the top of Bailey’s head and his legs stiffened briefly. Both men did not go unscathed – Doyle’s left eye area was marking up mid-way through the contest and eventually started to bleed in the fifth. Bailey’s swollen, bruised right eye area began to trickle blood shortly after, in round six.

Also on the Steve Wood – VIP Boxing Promotions bill, Manchester’s Joe Murray scored a points’ win (60-55) over tough Ibrar Riyaz of Reading to notch up a second win since his 14 month ‘break’ from boxing last year.

And, debutant John Telford of Flixton, Manchester, made a notable start to his pro career by outpointing Lewis van Poetsch of Lydney over four rounds (40-36) More...

There were a few world title bouts across the globe this past weekend with the biggest contest occurring Saturday in America, as WBC heavyweight king Deontay Wilder retained his belt against challenger Chris Arreola at Legacy Arena in Birmingham.

Wilder held every advantage against California veteran Arreola and leveraged each one of those edges during the fight, as the champion was simply too tall, too quick, too strong and too heavy-fisted for the challenger.

The Alabama man toyed with his adversary, allowing Arreola to gain proximity simply to make the challenger easier to hit. Wilder took his time in the ring, slowly whittling down Arreola with jabs, hooks and the occasional thunderous right hand.

Arreola did snap back the head of Wilder on occasion with jabs and the odd power shot, an indication that the champion still has a long way to go on defense but Wilder has yet to tangle with an opponent who can make him pay for that shortcoming.

By the fourth frame, Wilder had Arreola reeling into the ropes and then on the floor but the former two-time world challenger showed a lot of courage to survive until the bell. More...
