It was a full house last night at the packed Brentwood Centre in Essex, England for the Frank Maloney promoted Fightnight headlined by the eagerly awaited contest between John McDermott and Tyson Fury.
The night was billed as ‘Colossal’ with McDermott defending his English Heavyweight title against younger, less experienced Fury.
The atmosphere inside the Brentwood Centre was fantasti ! And dancing along to his entrance music - ‘Tonight’s gonna be a good night’ - Fury, as usual, was clearly enjoying the attention.
Unlike his opponent - a mean looking ‘Big Bad John’ McDermott - who ‘plodded’ down the stairway to the ring. More...

Heavyweight prospect Tyson Fury and his management team have secured a shot at the English title against ‘Big Bad’ John McDermott on September 15.
Fury, standing 6ft 9, has been making quite the name for himself since stepping out into the pro scene in December, namely by stopping all of his opponents thus far, and he seems very accustomed to ‘talking the talk’.
Of course, being unbeaten and touted by many, Fury is a cocky guy but the kind of heavyweight that we all love; He’s big, brash, loud, has a load of charisma, solid boxing skills, and can certainly bang.
He does command a good turn out when he fights and has been trying to secure any kind of title shot he could get his hands on since his pro debut; such is his level of confidence.
Fury’s record stands at 7-0 with 7 KO’s, with some good domestic names on his resume such as Lee Swaby, Scott Belshaw and Matthew Ellis, with Swaby taking the longest to hold off the attack before succumbing in the fourth, and Ellis being beaten in 48 seconds of the first round.
With such a young career, some might deem this too big a mountain for Fury to climb, as his opponent McDermott goes into the fight with a record of 25-5 with 16 of those wins by way of KO. More...

Saturday night at the York Hall in Bethnal Green, London, England, Hennessy Sports promoted a fight night headlined by the British Light Heavyweight title clash between Commonwealth Champion Nathan Cleverly and English Champion Danny McIntosh.
Cleverly of Cefn Forest, Wales, enters the ring first, clearly enjoying the atmosphere of the York Hall.
Confident McIntosh jumps over the top rope and in to the ring, striding over to Cleverly before being stopped by referee Howard Foster.
Obviously very ‘fired-up’, McIntosh goads "Clev" from his corner position until trainer Brendan Ingle steps in front of him to keep him back. More...

A big light heavyweight showdown took place tonight at London's York Hall with Nathan Cleverly emerging as the new British champion after defeating Danny McIntosh.
Already the Commonwealth titlist, Cleverly had one last obstacle to clear in the form of English belt holder McIntosh in order to begin the long climb to the world stage.
And clear it he did, but not without an argument from the Norwich based brawler.
Cleverly immediately looked the classier fighter once the bell rang as he was quicker than McIntosh and took advantage of the almost non existent defense of his rival. More...
