At the Floral Hall in the seaside town of Southport on Friday night, Carl Dilks of Liverpool won the vacant International Masters Bronze Cruiserweight Title by outpointing Carl Wild of Sheffield (80-72). Dilks was fighting for his first time at Cruiserweight but looked confident and aggressive throughout – despite easing off slightly in round six. Wild looked uncomfortable at the start of the seventh but his nose was bloody which may have been a distraction, though it didn’t stop him landing some shots in the second half of the round. Dilks wins the Title on points.
Also on the Steve Wood – VIP Boxing promoted fight-night, popular Mike Stafford of Southport outpointed Elvis Dube of Derby over six rounds of Light-Heavyweight action (60-54).
