The Carl Greaves Promotion (in association with Impact Boxing) hosted a show which featured six contests of local boxers.
The main event saw Liam Berrisford of Meir outpoint last minute opponent Naheem Chaudhry of Blackburn over six rounds of Super-Lightweight action (60-54).
Undercard bouts included a tough six rounds for Jamal Le Doux of Hanley against awkward Eric Nwankwo of Portsmouth. A dangerous puncher – Nwankwo had success with head shots in the fourth but Le Doux picked it up in the fifth round.
