Last night at the Civic Hall in Wolverhampton, England, First Team Promotions main men PJ Rowson and Errol Johnson staged a fight night which was headlined by Rob Hunt of Stafford, who faced experienced Jason Nesbitt of Birmingham in an eight round welterweight contest.

Not the tidiest of fights - with Hunt getting a point deducted for holding and which he continues to do throughout the contest. There's a scrap at the end of round six as both men slug it out in the corner just as the bell sounds to end the frame. But, Hunt's long-reaching right punch and right hooks to body gave him the points win he wanted and ensure him a title shot early next year.

Hunt's record now stands at 11-0 (1). More...

Martin Gordon (Dudley) vs. Chris Thompson (Leeds)
4 x 2 Welterweight Contest

Despite landing a number of straight lefts and, sometimes - wild swinging left shots - the Dudley man had a tough contest against the taller Thompson and it seemed fair that it ended in a draw.

Arriving at the doorway of the Wednesbury Boxing Academy, I was still wondering why I hadn’t visited the gym before. I used to live locally, so Wednesbury is a place I’ve been to many times.

The front of the single-storied building looked fairly small - but afterward, I mused it was a bit like a ‘tardis’ because the gym - though not huge - stretched back to reveal a ‘comfortable’ workspace with several punch bags and a decent ‘ring’.

Bob Plant greeted me at the door. Having met Bob and Errol Johnson on a number of occasions - it was the first time I’d ventured in to their ’space’ but - as I guessed - they immediately made me feel very welcome. Just back from a holiday - a tanned Bob was enjoying some ‘banter’ with the lads as they power-skipped.

A trickle of boxers came through the door, each one getting straight to work on their training routine - some on the punch bags, others power-skipping. Bob and Errol revealed that they had around 47 professional boxers on their ‘books’ though they didn’t all train every session. More...
