Friday night, at the Metrodome, Barnsley, England, Carl Greaves Promotions hosted a dinner show which included seven bouts of boxing.

The headliner, saw local man – Josh ‘The Outlaw’ Wale storm through with a third round TKO over Slovakian – Elemir Rafael in their 6 round Super-Bantamweight Contest. Wale piled in the body punches during the second frame while Wale supporters shouted to ‘Watch the head!’ of his opponent. Rafael slipped to the canvas a couple of times and the addition of taping to his boots didn’t help.

Wale went on to get the stoppage in the third. He improves to 13 wins (7 by KO) 3 losses (1 by KO) and 1 draw, while Rafael drops to 16 wins (1 by KO) 50 losses (18 by KO) and 1 draw.
