Last night at the York Hall in Bethnal Green, London, Hennessy Sports hosted a fight night headlined by Manchester boxer Craig 'The Hammer' Watson's defence of the Commonwealth Welterweight title against John O’Donnell of Shepherds Bush.

Watson hadn't fought since his impressive win over Mathew Hatton at the Manchester City Stadium 11 months ago and with a change of promoter - it would be interesting to see how he looked against O'Donnell, who boasted a 20 win and 1 loss record.

Watson looked confident as he waited to fight and as the bell rang to signal the first round, he almost runs across to O’Donnell - launching himself at his opponent as if he’d was ready to explode into action! More...

Welterweight John O'Donnell is the new Commonwealth Champion after dethroning Craig Watson in a riveting all-southpaw clash last night at London's historic York Hall.

As expected, Watson was on fire in the opening frame, pushing O'Donnell back but was unable to steamroll the lanky 23 year old from Shepherd's Bush. More...

Commonwealth Welter Champion Craig Watson puts his belt at risk for the second time as he meets challenger John O'Donnell at London's famed York Hall tonight.

Although Watson at 13-2 (4) doesn't have a record on paper to match the bigger numbers of O'Donnell at 20-1 (9), it is indeed the Manchester southpaw that has the greater experience.

As an amateur, Watson made waves by flooring future Olympic hero and professional sensation Amir Khan and the 26 year old was thrown in tough as a young pro, facing the likes of John Fewkes, Michael Lomax and Robert Lloyd Taylor by the time he'd been in his tenth contest.

Having only lost a close decision to Fewkes as a light welter, Watson went up to welter and shocked reigning Commonwealth king Ali Nuumbembe in a brutal and bloody battle in December, 2007 that was stopped in the ninth when Nuumbembe's cuts became too severe. More...

Heavyweight sensation Tyson Fury will look to make it 5 straight wins this Saturday when he takes on “Magic” Matthew Ellis at the York Hall, Bethnal Green in London.

The 6 foot 8 and a half inch 20-year-old has despatched his first four professional opponents inside the distance but with just 6 defeats in 27 pro fights of his own Ellis represents an excellent test for Fury. More...

George Hillyard wants to put 18 months of frustration behind him and gain revenge in the process by beating Tyan Booth at the York Hall on April 11.

The Canning Town crowd pleaser has only had one fight in the last 18 months but a chance to avenge a 2006 points defeat to Booth should prove the perfect re-launch pad. More...

Having brought over 300 supporters to his last outing at the York Hall, Wembley’s Steve O’Meara is expecting his fans to come out in their droves once again for his next bout at the famous London fight venue on April 11.

Billy Walsh and Stephen Haughian will finally get it on for the Irish Welterweight title at the Craigavon Leisure Centre on February 7. Haughian has been eyeing a crack at the undefeated Corkman’s title ever since Walsh won it 12 months ago and now he’s got his wish.

“To be fighting so close to home is a dream come true and to fight for the Irish title is the icing on the cake,” said the Lurgan man. Haughian’s only up close and personal look at Walsh came when he appeared on the Leesider’s undercard in Cork two years ago and he says he saw enough night to know he can win. More...

Stephen Haughian believes he’s ready to start chasing down major titles in 2009. The County Armagh boxer will look to take his career to the next level when he headlines a first ever pro fight night at the Craigavon Leisure Centre in Northern Ireland on Saturday, February 7.

The Lurgan welterweight who trains out of John Breen’s Gym in Belfast is hoping to enjoy the same success in 2009 that gym mates Paul McCloskey and Martin Rogan enjoyed last year.

Both ended 2008 on a high with McCloskey claiming the British Light Welterweight title and Rogan ending any remaining world title aspirations that Audley Harrison might have had. More...

The Continent saw a few good fight cards this weekend and we start off in Germany where at the Burg-Waechter Castello in Dusseldorf played host to a good card.

The headline event featured the biggest win so far for heavyweight Alexander Dimitrenko, 29-0 (19), who knocked out ex-European Champion and world title challenger Luan Krasniqi, 30-4-1 (14), in the third round of a contest for the WBO Intercontinental Heavyweight title.

Standing six feet seven inches and weighing in at 256 pounds, 26 year old Ukrainian Dimitrenko has pounded his way through the lower ranks since turning professional seven years ago but the defeat of Krasniqi signals the entrance of the Hamburg resident onto the world stage.

There were three good eight round contests on the bill as well with heavyweight Denis Boystov, 23-0 (18), outpointing American visitor Vinny Maddalone, 31-5 (22), super middle Dimitri Sartison, 23-1 (15), stopped Edison Francisco Guedes, 11-8-1 (5), in the third while super middle Gusmyl Perdomo, 16-2 (10), stopped Laurent Goury, 14-18 (2), in the fourth.
