Last night, at the Goresbrook Leisure Centre, Dagenham, England, Frank Maloney promoted a fightnight which headlined Oldham-based Shinny Bayaar’s first defence of the British Flyweight Title against Ashley Sexton of Cheshunt .

This proved to be an exciting and bloody (!) contest with most of the Dagenham crowd on their feet during the second half of the fight.

It was a steady start (surprisingly) with Sexton teasing the Champion with the left. Mid-way through the first and blood is flowing from Sexton's nose already!

With distance between them – Sexton lunges forward but is caught by Bayaars right ‘on the way in’. More...

Tonight, at the Goresbrook Leisure Centre, Dagenham, England, Frank Maloney promotes an all-action fight-card which will headline the British Flyweight Title clash between Shinny Bayaar and Ashley Sexton.

Mongolian-born Bayaar won the Title by split decision when he defeated Stokes’ Chris Edwards last October. This will be Bayaar's first defence of the title against Cheshunt's popular ‘Flash Ash’ Sexton.

With a nine win record (5 by way of knockout) and no losses – Sexton is a fast and exciting Flyweight.

Yesterday, he told SaddoBoxing, “I'm buzzing about the fight! Training has gone well and I'm ready to show every one what I can do Friday night- fighting a top class opponent. I'm ready to rip the British Title from Shinny Bayaar!”

Also, on the fight-card, Shinfield's Boxer Scott Haywood of Derby, gets a re-match against Scott Woolford of Ramsgate. The pair met in November when Haywood was stopped in round six by a bad cut to the right eyebrow (sustained in the fourth) and is looking forward to a cut-free fight this time!

But with a new baby – Haywood has had to adapt to a different routine.

“Its been real hard this time with new baby Seanna,” Haywood told SaddoBoxing yesterday, “However, it’s given me more to fight for now and has made me look at things differently. More...

Ashley Sexton believes big fight rival Shinny Bayaar has seen better days.

Sexton (9-0) has to show he can shoot from the hip as well as the lip when he challenges for the Oldham based Mongolian’s British flyweight title at Dagenham’s Goresbrook Leisure Centre on Friday (14th May).

Cheshunt’s Sexton, 22, said: “I think Shinny is on the slide a little bit, but even if he’s not I am still going to beat him. I’ve been sparring with people like Jerome Arnould, Rendall Munroe, Ian Napa and Sam Rukondo – people who are a couple of levels above Shinny so I am more than confident.” More...

Friday night, at the SkyDome in Coventry, England, Frank Maloney hosted an all-action fightcard which headlined the Super Bantamweight Title Eliminator between Rendall Munroe of Leicester and Victor Terrazas of Mexico.

Munroe enters the ring to ‘My Old Mans a Dustman!’ followed by the Bob Marley classic ‘Jammin’. A sea of fluorescent jackets awaited the Boxing Binman from Leicester.

Terrazas – fighting outside of Mexico for the first time – looked relaxed as he entered the ring. I did think it was a shame he was met with a crescendo of ‘boos’ – this man had travelled for nearly four days to get here for the fight and deserved a bit more credit (!)

It was a good first round for Terrazas, who’s left straight jab was noticeable from the start. Munroe was less busy – sussing out his opponent. The second round is much the same but Munroe lands a decent left-right at the end of the round, which sees the Mexican's head rock back. More...

Last night at The Skydome in Coventry, England, European super bantam champion Rendall Munroe won a WBC title eliminator by stopping Mexico's Victor Terrazas in the ninth round.

Munroe, 21-1 (9), of Leicester, won the biggest bout of his career after falling behind in the early rounds against the 27 year old from Gudalajara.

But Terrazas couldn't improve upon a dominant fourth round showing and by the seventh was absorbing punishment from the 29 year old English southpaw.

The eighth frame saw Terrazas in deep trouble but the end came at 0:57 of the ninth when the visitor was downed by a spearing Munroe bodyshot and failed to convince referee John Keane he was in shape to continue.

Munroe now gets a crack at the WBC title, facing the winner of reigning champion Toshiaki Nishioka and undefeated challenger Balweg Bangoyan, who clash in Tokyo on April, 30.
