There was some great undercard action on Friday night at the Harvey Hadden Sports Complex, Nottingham.

Dale Miles (Alfreton) v Janis Chernouskis (Latvia)
6 Round Welterweight Contest

Miles gets off to a fast start and Chernouskis spends much of his time covering up. Within seconds – the Latvian's face has already reddened from the punches. It’s a nice display of boxing from the Shinfield's fighter who pressures his opponent in the corner mid-way through this first round.

Landing left and right hooks and decent body-shots, Miles dominates. Sky Sports Stats reveal that Miles has thrown 33 punches in the opener as opposed to 6 from Chernouskis. More...

Last night the Harvey Hadden Sports Complex in Nottingham, England, promoter Frank Maloney hosted a fight night headlined by 'Boxing Binman' Rendall Munroe’s fifth defence of his European Super Bantamweight title.

Facing Italy's Simone ‘Boom Boom’ Maludrottu, this could be Munroe's toughest test, but winning this contest may propel him to a much deserved world title fight.

The atmosphere inside the venue was fantastic! Munroe always enjoys big crowd support and last night was no exception as a sea of fluorescent ‘bin-man-style’ tabards greeted him as he entered the ring. More...

Yesterday at the Gateway Hotel in Nottingham, England, promoter Frank Maloney hosted the official weigh-in ahead of tonight's European super bantamweight title clash between reigning champion Rendall Munroe and former European bantam titlist and WBC world title challenger Simone Maludrottu.

Proceedings went smoothly and quickly. The two men quietly took turns weighing in and both posed for the obligatory ‘face-off’ photographs. As you would expect from these two boxers - there was no goading or verbal onslaught from either man.

Munroe looked in fantastic shape and was calm and relaxed throughout.

Weights were as follows:

European super bantamweight championship, 12 rounds
Rendall Munroe: 8 stone 10 pounds/122 lb
Simone Maludrottu: 8 stone 9 and a quarter pounds/121.25 lb More...

Today at the Gateway Hotel in Nottingham, England, promoter Frank Maloney hosted a press conference ahead of Friday's fight night at the Harvey Hadden Leisure Centre, in which Leicester binman Rendall Munroe will defend his European super bantamweight title for the fifth time.

Munroe's opponent, former European bantamweight champion and WBC title challenger Simone ‘Boom Boom’ Maludrottu of Italy arrived in England yesterday and sat at today's press conference alongside his trainer.

Unable to speak English, Maludrottu answered questions via an interpreter, who sat between Maludrottu and his trainer.

A confident Munroe sat alongside his team of Jason and Mike Shinfield. Munroe's good friend and British super bantam champion Jason Booth was on hand to offer support as were Munroe's stablemates, light heavyweight Ovill McKenzie and light welter Scott Haywood, who also fight on Friday's bill.

Sunday afternoon at the Meadowside Leisure Centre in Burton-on-Trent, England, PJ Rowson and Errol Johnson of ‘First Team Promotions’ hosted a fight card headlined by a British Masters title clash.

Robert Kenney (Wolverhampton) faced Dale Miles (Alfreton) in the main event for the British Masters Welterweight title.

It was a better start to the fight for Miles, in fact ‘Yam Yam’ Kenney didn’t really ‘pick it up’ during the fight. Miles’s corner shouts at him to ‘target the body!’ And he did land some solid body-shots in round five, which seemed to sap the Wolverhampton man, who has now sustained a cut under the left eye.

Despite Kenney’s corner urging him to go for the body - he didn’t, instead choosing to throw head shots, which weren’t having the effect. Southpaw Miles keeps up the body punches - landing while backing Kenney on the ropes in round six. More...
