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...

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...

The tension between John McDermott and rival Tyson Fury was tremendous yesterday at the weigh-in between the two heavyweights, who clash tonight at Brentwood Centre in Essex.

At stake is McDermott's English heavyweight title but many are looking at this bout as a manner of judging the future viability of undefeated prospect Fury's career.

At the weigh-in, McDermott looked to be the fittest of his career and was clearly furious at his towering antagonist, who had waged a typical pre-fight campaign of trash talking. More...

In support of the much awaited John McDermott vs. Tyson Fury English heavyweight title fight this Friday, September 11, promoter Frank Maloney presents a competitive undercard at Brentwood Centre in Essex.

The main event of the night was the scheduled ten round contest for the vacant Southern Area Welterweight title between Scott Woolford of Ramsgate, Kent and Tom Glover of Maldon, Essex.

Scott ʽThe Gentʼ, lost last time out to Matthew Hatton on points and tonight would be a tough contest again.Both men came out looking good, but Glover seemed to have a real confidence about him and scored a number of head shots with both left and right straight punches through Woolford's weak defence.

Woolford gets through with some good left and right hooks but Glover seems to find his target easily and Woolford goes down in the ninth round. More...

Light middleweight Gary "Hot Stuff" Woolcombe realized a career ambition by winning the British title in December of last year but a first defense against former champion Ryan Rhodes in April saw the 26 year old lose his grip on the domestic crown when KO'd in the ninth round. More...
