Last night at the Metrodome in Barnsley, England Frank Maloney hosted a fight night billed as “Sublime Skill vs. Brute Force”, headlined by the clash between Rendall Munroe of Leicester, England and Kiko Martinez of Alicante, Spain.

"Boxing Binman" or "2Tone" Munroe would face Spaniard ‘La Sensation’ Martinez for the fourth defence of his European Super Bantamweight belt which he won from Martinez in March last year.

There was a great atmosphere at the Metrodome as a sea of fluorescent tabbards awaited the entrance of popular Munroe. The taller Leicester man looked in fantastic shape as he waited to hear the bell signalling the start of the fight.

Straight away, both boxers get to work, with Martinez starting fast and targeting the body of Munroe. Mid-way through the first round, Martinez already has a cut to the right eye and Munroe also has blood to the face.

The Spaniard scores with the left hook and Munroe tucks in tight as he goes for the body again. As he goes back to the corner, it’s clear that Munroe has a cut to the left brow and a nick on the head. More...

Last night at the Fenton Manor Sports Complex in Stoke-on-Trent, England, Frank Maloney and Impact Boxing hosted a fight night which saw local boxer Chris Edwards face Grimsby’s Wayne Bloy for the British and Commonwealth Flyweight titles.

Bloy had plenty of support from the Grimsby fans who’d made the trip while experienced Edwards was looking to become a double-weight champion having moved down from super flyweight.

Edwards goes out ‘all guns blazing’ as the bell sounds the start of round one. Exploding like a ‘bottle of pop’, he goes after Bloy and it's difficult for the ringside photographers to keep up with the two men as they nip around the canvas on fast feet!

Edwards throws various shots - both to head and body - driving forward to back up Bloy. Mid-way through the first frame, the Grimsby man is already under pressure and stumbles backward as Edwards lands a big right hook to the face. More...
