Sunday, at the Sutton Sports Centre in St. Helens, Merseyside, England – Steve Woods / VIP Boxing hosted another great afternoon of boxing action!

Blackpool boxer Brian Rose was victorious – scoring a clear points win over Belgium’s Kobe Vandekerkhove in a six round light middleweight contest.

Roses’s trainer, Bobby Rimmer, told SaddoBoxing this morning “Brian boxed brilliantly – I’m very pleased with how he performed! Vandekerkhove is a tough boxer but he couldn’t get past Brian’s jab and I think he just drew on one round.

“Bri got cut over his left eye in round three which needed about four stitches, but Brian wasn’t bothered – he just gets on with it !”

Rose improves to 9 wins, no losses with two KOs and one draw while Vandekerkhove falls to 11-7-1 (5).
