It was a great night of boxing Friday night, at Bowlers Exhibition Centre, Manchester, when (Dave) Coldwell Promotions hosted a fight-night which headlined an all-action battle for the BBBofC English Light-Welterweight Title.

Curtis Woodhouse of Driffield was defending his belt for the first time since winning it in September last year but despite a great performance in which he inflicted a bloody face to his opponent – Shayne Singleton of Colne was the victor by a split decision.
