Last night, at the Municipal Hall in Colne, Lancashire, England, Steve Wood of VIP Promotions presented a night of professional boxing that featured seven contests.

There was a packed and lively crowd inside the ornate surroundings of the ‘Muni’ and they were treated to some great action.

Before fighting commenced though, the main fighters stood on the canvas and MC Michael Pass led a full one minute applause. Only a few days earlier, three young people from Colne were tragically killed in a car accident. The standing crowd clapped loudly in support of the people of Colne and the trio of friends who had tragically lost their lives.

Results are as follows: More...

Last night at the Robin Park Centre, Wigan, England, Steve Woods / VIP Boxing promoted a fight night of seven contests - on the eve of Ricky Hatton’s ‘HomeComing.’

The ‘Bill’ was to have headlined the much anticipated re-match between Michael Gomez and Peter McDonagh but Gomez is now to fight Amir Khan on 21st June. Gomez was ringside to support stablemate - Jack Arnfield of Bobby Rimmers’ Boxing Academy.

Top of the ‘bill’ saw Brett Flourney of Merseyside outpoint Ukranian Vladimir Borovski in a six-round welterweight contest. Southpaw Flourney landed some solid body-shots and right punches but Borovski is a tough fighter who seemed undeterred by the shots.

The Ukranian is quite a character and did quite a bit of showboating! Calling Flourney ‘on’ - gesturing that it didn’t hurt - what else have you got!’ and laughing. He even took time to glance up at the crowds and ‘egg’ them on! But Flourney kept focused and won the contest by 60-54. He didn’t look happy with the performance as he went back to his corner - shaking his head, but it’s another win for the Mersey-man who improves to 9 wins and no losses. More...

The next Steve Woods/VIP Boxing event takes place on Saturday, April 26, 2008 at the Robin Park Arena in Wigan, England. Please note the change of venue - which was originally to be held at the GH Carnall Centre in Davyhulme, Manchester.

Featuring nine fights - this is sure to be another action-packed night of boxing!

The main event sees popular welterweight Mark Thompson fighting for the vacant Masters International title and promising Blackpool light middleweight Brian Rose, both against opponents to be announced.

Other fights on the bill include: More...
