Last nigh, at ‘The Troxy’ in the East End of London, England, Frank Maloney hosted a St.Georges Day Dinner Event which would show four action packed contests including an English title fight.

Billed as ‘The Slayers’ - this special fund-raising event was headlined by the English Super Flyweight title contest between Ross ‘The Boss’ Burkinshaw of Sheffield and Mike ‘Robbo’ Robinson of Liverpool.

The event also signalled the launch of Maloney's ‘St. Georges Sporting Club’ which promises to host men-only ‘do's’ around the country as well as mixed-sex events, such as a Summer Ball, to raise money for charity.

It was a big night for Mr. Maloney, not just because of the club launch, and the setting of The Troxy - but boxing celebrities, friends, colleagues and family gathered to celebrate his 25th anniversary as a promoter.

The Troxy - an ‘Art Deco’ styled venue in the heart of London's East End - was packed with guests. There were forty tables, plus the top-table, where guests enjoyed a typically ‘hearty’ English three course meal. More...

Friday night at the Robin Park Arena in Wigan, England Frank Maloney promoted a fight night which was headlined by the clash between Jamie Moore and Michele Piccirillo, as they fought for the vacant European Light Middleweight title. Salford man Moore won the title on a third round TKO over Italian Piccirillo.

But there was some great undercard action which also saw the second fight from Irish Bronze Olympic Medallist Darren Sutherland as he took on Belarusian Siarhei Navarka in a six round super middleweight contest.

In the opening half of the round, Sutherland lands a number of head punches which sees Navarkaʼs face already reddened from the blows. Keeping up the pace, ʽDazʼ whips out the left and straight rights and though Navarka keeps his gloves up and head down, Sutherlands punches get through.

Round two and Sutherland stays busy, continuing to use the jab which rocks back the head of the Belarusian with some regularity now. More...

First Team's PJ Rowson and Errol Johnson put on another entertaining afternoon of boxing on Sunday when they hosted a full card of eight contests, billed as "Crunch-time at Lunch-time", which included two title bouts at the Civic Hall in Wolverhampton, England.

Dean "Deano" Harrison of Wolverhampton faced Chris Long of Calne, Wiltshire, for the vacant British Masters Welterweight title. A win could ensure a re-match with Scott Haywood, the Derby Boxer who narrowly out pointed Harrison for the English Light Welterweight title in September. Long fought Harrison's stablemate Steve Saville last time out, losing on points to the Bomber.

Harrison used straight lefts to head and left hooks to the body of Long and although Long put up a good effort against the Wolverhampton man, he was forced to retire at the end of the eighth round with a shoulder injury.

Harrison wins the title and his record now stands at 13-1 (4). More...

At Wolverhampton Civic Hall on Friday night, the action continued after the main British Middleweight title bout between Wayne Elcock and Darren McDermott. It turned out to be a very successful night for Errol Johnson and Bob Plant, with their fighters winning all of their contests!

Mark Lloyd of Telford Walsall faced Nottingham boxer Andrew Alan Lowe, for the vacant British Midlands Area Welterweight title.

ʽLloydy, Lloydyʼ the crowd cheered throughout the fight, which turned out to be a grueling slug-fest. An action-packed contest saw a relentless Lloyd wearing down his gritty opponent, who hadnʼt been past six rounds before.

But a swinging right punch from Lloyd signaled the end for a brave Andrew Lowe, who - backed up to the ropes - suffered an onslaught from the Midlander. A punishing uppercut and a barrage of shots saw Lowe unable to escape and as the referee stepped in - the towel was thrown in by Loweʼs corner. More...
