Yesterday at Hatton Health & Fitness Centre in Hyde, England, Hatton Promotions hosted the official weigh-in ahead of this evening's fight night staged at the Fenton Manor Sports Complex in Stoke-on-Trent, England.

It was a relaxed and friendly atmosphere in the smart new surroundings of the Hatton 'centre', where Hatton would weigh-in alongside N'Dou for the IBO welterweight title.

Hatton stepped up to the scales first - weighing in at 147 lb followed by N'Dou, who tipped the scales at 145 lb.

Both men were quiet as they posed for the usual 'face-off' photographs. More...

Last night at Robin Park Arena in Wigan, England, Oliver Harrison hosted a fight night billed as ‘Saints & Sinners: The Best of St. Helens!’ which was headlined by boxers Craig Lyon and Rob Beech from the nearby town of St. Helens. Unfortunately, Lyon’s opponent, Cobina Johnson of Ghana, came in overweight and the bout was called off at the last minute.

But the show thankfully went on and first up, we see the light welterweight clash between Chris Goodwin of Chester and Daniel Thorpe of Sheffield.

It's good contest with Goodwin having to work hard to get the win over a tough Thorpe. Goodwin wins on points 59-56 and improves to 9 wins 1 loss and 1 draw. Veteran Thorpe notched up his 101st fight!

The pugulistic arts return to Stoke’s Kings Hall on 13th September courtesy of local promoters Impact Boxing who are hosting their latest event at the venue. The evening’s proceedings will include seven scheduled bouts with local lads Scott Lawton and Scott Miller headlining once again.

Miller now successful in his first five starts in the professional ring has so far disposed of three of his opponents within the distance, the latest being Ade Adewole in the second round at Trentham Gardens in June. Consequently, Miller is fast becoming a firm favourite with the Kings Hall crowd and is already being tipped for honours in the sport. More...
