JOE HUGHES THE WBO INTERCONTINENTAL SUPER-LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP 12 X 3 Minute Rounds British boxing’s hottest talent Jack Catterall comprehensively outpointed Malmesbury’s Joe Hughes to retain his WBO Intercontinental Super-Lightweight title and earn himself a shot at the British title. Slick southpaw Catterall dominated for large spells of a gripping encounter against a rough and ready Hughes. Ultimately, undefeated Catterall’s class showed as he took a deserved unanimous decision with scores of 115-113, 117-112 and 117-113. The classy Catterall proved what a skilled operator he is as he earned a shot at the British title. Backed by a vocal Bolton crowed Catterall made his reach advantage count in a gripping opening round. The Chorley man continued to land punishing left hands as the fight progressed but Malmesbury’s Hughes continued to soak up the punishment and come back for more. On his return to action in Bolton Catterall began to outclass the determined Hughes in the latter rounds. 22 year-old Catterall summoned the energy to land several impressive combos in the closing rounds but Hughes took them well denied the champion a stoppage win. Chorley’s boxing star now moves on to a record of 13-0 8 KO’s. LUKE BLACKLEDGE WTKO5 (0:57) VS. ISHMAEL TETTEH THE COMMONWEALTH SUPER-MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP 12 X 3 Minute Rounds Accrington action man Luke Blackledge successfully defended his Commonwealth Super-Middleweight title against Ghana’s Ishmael Tetteh at Bolton’s Macron Stadium. Blackledge, who fights out of Bolton trainer Karl Ince’s Elite Gym in Halliwell, dropped the African with a crippling body shot in the fifth. Tetteh failed to beat the referees count and Blackledge moved to 21-2-2 6 KO’s. In a lively opener Blackledge attempted to pin his challenger down before catching him late with a big left hook. Tetteh came into the fight in the second round, letting his hands go with sharp uppercuts and body shots. In an even third round Blackledge and Tetteh both piled the pressure on one another. The determined Blackledge took hold of the fight in the fifth before sending Tetteh crashing to the canvas with a big body shot that retained his Commonwealth title. KIRYL RELIKH WTKO4 (2:50) VS. JOAQUIM CARNIERO BATISTA THE WBA INTERCONTINENTAL SUPER-LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP 10 X 3 Minute Rounds In the first title fight of the night Belarus knockout king Kiryl Relikh emphatically defended his WBA Intercontinental Super-Middleweight title against brave Brazilian Joaquim Carniero Batista. Relikh took his red-hot record to 21-0 19 KO’s after Batista’s corner correctly retired their fighter to save him from taking any further damage. Ricky Hatton’s super-lightweight man dominated from the opening bell, using his sharp head movement to evade trouble and countering with some beautiful left hooks that left Batista reeling. Batista continued to soak up punishment in rounds three and four before the white towel was thrown in. JIMMY KELLY WPTS8 (80-72) VS. MICHAEL MORA 8 X 3 Minute Rounds International Super-Welterweight Contest Manchester’s former WBO world title challenger Jimmy Kelly returned to the ring after six months out to beat Spain’s Michael Mora on points over eight rounds. The Mancunian super- welterweight puncher was made to work on his return to the ring by a rough and ready Mora. Kelly, who still holds the WBO Intercontinental title, dropped Mora twice in the final round but the brave Spaniard beat the referees count twice and clung on to lose 80-72 on points. CIARAN MCVARNOCK WTKO1 (1:22) VS. RUSLANS BERDIMURADOVS 4 X 3 Minute Rounds International Lightweight Contest Promising Belfast lightweight Ciaran McVarnock wasted no time as he took out Latvia’s Ruslans Berdimur in the opening round to take his record to 6-0-1 at Bolton’s Macron Stadium. In a short-lived yet electrifying contest McVarnock had his opponent down twice in the first round before the referee had seen enough. JORDAN THOMPSON WTKO1 (1:15) VS. MATEUSZ GATEK 4 X 3 Minute Rounds International Cruiserweight Contest Unbeaten Manchester cruiserweight prospect Jordan Thompson made short work of Poland’s Mateusz Gatek to take his record to 3-0 3 KO’s. A huge left hook from Thompson sent Gatek crashing to the floor before the referee waved off the fight; much to the delight of the Mancunian mountain who let out a roar of approval. GARY SWEENEY WTKO1 (1:17) VS. MARIO LAKATOS 4 X 3 Minute Rounds International Cruiserweight Contest Ireland’s cruiserweight prospect Gary Sweeney made an explosive start to life in the paid ranks with a first round stoppage win over Slovakia’s Mario Lakatos. The big-hitting County Co-Mayo man had his opponent down three times in the opening round before the referee waved the contest off at 1 minute and 17 seconds. VIJENDER SINGH WTKO3 (2:00) VS. ANDRZEJ SOLDRA 8 X 3 Minute Rounds International Middleweight Contest Indian ring sensation Vijender Singh continued his march towards a huge homecoming fight in India with another explosive knockout win over Poland’s Anderzej Soldra. The big- hitting man from the Bhiwani district in Haryana completely outclassed Soldra before the referee waved-off the contest two minutes into the third round. All-action Singh had his man down inside the first round with a massive right hand. Soldra did well to recover and survived the first round. It was more of the same in the second round as knockout merchant Singh went looking for yet another blockbuster finish. Red-hot Singh dominated throughout the bout, landing damaging combos at will. Poland’s Soldra struggled to land any meaningful shots of his own and did well to make it to the third round. 30 year-old Singh was teeing off at will before referee Mark Lyson finally stopped the bout to save Soldra from taking anymore punishment. Speaking after the fight Singh said: “This guy came here to fight me and gave as good as he got but my class was too much for him. I was landing with powerful shots and he couldn’t handle them. It’s another win and another step on my journey to the top of the world middleweight scene.” He added: “Every fight is important for me. I’ve shown everyone in the UK and back home in India what I’m capable of once again and I’m excited for the future. With the backing of Francis Warren and everyone in my corner the sky is the limit.” JACK FLATLEY WTKO1 (2:53) VS. VALENTIN STOYCHOV 4 X 3 Minute Rounds International Middleweight Contest Bolton boy Jack Flately blew away Bulgaria’s Valentin Stoychov inside the opening round to claim his fourth professional victory. Backed by a vocal Bolton crowd Flatley tore into Stoychov from the very first bell. It was all over before it begun as Flatley finished off the Bulgarian with a punishing body shot 2 minutes and 53 seconds into round one. DALE COYNE WPTS4 (39-38) VS. CRISTIAN HOSKIN GOMEZ 4 X 3 Minute Rounds Super-Middleweight Contest Steve Maylett-trained super-middleweight prospect Dayle Coyne outpointed Plymouth’s Cristian Hoskin Gomez 39-38 to pick up his fourth pro win in an evenly contested bout. The flame- haired Manchester Super-Middleweight grew into the fight and landed some punishing body shots on Gomez. Both men gave a good account of themselves but it was Coyne who edged the contest, landing more accurately on Gomez. ZELFA BARRETT WTKO2 (1:52) VS. CHRIS ADAWAY 6 X 3 Minute Rounds Lightweight Contest Red-hot Manchester lightweight prospect Zelfa Barrett earned an explosive stoppage win over Plymouth’s Chris Adaway to claim his tenth professional win at Bolton’s Macron Stadium. Barrett put Adaway down in the first round with a huge right hand shot that landed on the bell. Adaway beat the count but it was more of the same in the second round as ‘Brown Flash’ continued to pick and time his shots. It was all over in the third round after the brave Adaway was dropped for a third time. Adaway did his best to defend himself from Barrett’s punishing shots but the Mancunian’s precision and power proved too much for him to handle. MACAULAY MCGOWAN WPTS8 (78-74) VS. CHRIS JENKINSON 8 X 3 Minute Rounds Super-Welterweight Contest 21 year-old McCauley McGowan outpointed Bolton’s Chris Jenkinson 78-74 to pick up the tenth pro win of his promising career. McGowan was up against an experienced operator in Jenkinson who made him work hard for his win. Jenkinson repeatedly forced Wythenshawe’s McGowan to dig deep, tagging his opponent with a series of solid head shots in the fourth. Former England Youth rep McGowan took hold of the bout in the latter stages as Jenkinson finally began to tire and came away with a hard-fought victory..

  • Catterall's Las Vegas Trip to Warn Taylor-Ramirez Winner
    CATTERALL’S LAS VEGAS TRIP TO WARN TAYLOR-RAMIREZ WINNER: “I’M NEXT” JACK CATTERALL is on a Las Vegas spying mission as he plots to become World Super-Lightweight champion. Edinburgh’s IBF and WBA World champion Josh Taylor meets WBC and WBO title holder Jose Ramirez on Saturday and Catterall will be front row making sure the winner doesn’t duck out. The winner has vowed to face WBO mandatory contender Catterall next after the Chorley man agreed to step aside and allow all four belts to be at stake in boxing’s capital. Catterall, who boasts a pristine 100% record with 26 wins, no losses and no draws, said “I’m excited to be here for fight week. “It is a massive fight, hopefully it is a good fight and I can let everyone know I’m serious about fighting the winner. “I will do some training, sparring and ultimately watch the fight. After the weekend we will have a clear direction of where we’re going. “I stepped aside on the promise that I will get the winner and I am under no illusion because anything can happen, but ultimately I have allowed them to create this big undisputed title fight. “I have beaten everyone in front of me, done everything asked of me on my side.” Catterall, 27, believes that a Taylor win will set-up a huge England v Scotland battle, but has doubts about Ramirez keeping his word if he triumphs. “I hope Josh wins and hope he is a man of his word” added Catterall, who will spend two weeks in Las Vegas training.

  • Scarpa on Hughes: I’Ll Make Him Miss and Make Him Pay
    SCARPA ON HUGHES: I’LL MAKE HIM MISS AND MAKE HIM PAY Andrea Scarpa is confident of outboxing Joe Hughes when the pair clash for the Vacant EBU European Super-Lightweight title at the Teatro Obi Hall in Florence on November 30, live on DAZN and Sky Sports. Scarpa (23-4, 10 KO’s) is a former Italian Champion in two weight divisions; Super-Featherweight and Super-Lightweight. The Turin fighter outpointed Lyes Chaibi for the IBF Inter- Continental Super-Lightweight crown in his home city in 2015 before stopping John Wayne Hibbert to earn the WBC Silver 140lbs title at The O2 in 2016. He surrendered that title to Londoner Ohara Davies later that year, losing out on all three of the judge’s scorecards. But ‘Sugar Ray’ believes his ring experience against British fighters will stand him in good stead when he meets former English Super-Lightweight Champion Hughes next week. “I’ve watched a lot of Joe Hughes’ fights and he likes to be the aggressor,” said Scarpa. “He throws a lot of punches and piles on the pressure but this will play into my hands. I will make him miss with my fast movement and hit him on the counter. “I’ve shared the ring with British fighters on two occasions and I know the style they bring to the ring. Joe put up a good fight in his last challenge for the European title against Anthony Yigit and that shows the level that he’s at. I’ll need to be at the top of my game to beat him.

  • Hughes – I Already Feel Like a British Champion
    HUGHES – I ALREADY FEEL LIKE A BRITISH CHAMPION Joe Hughes is determined to win the British Super-Lightweight title at the second time of asking. He was left frustrated and angry after 12 battling rounds against former British Champion Tyrone Nurse at the Leicester Arena in 2017 that resulted in a draw. Hughes is still convinced that he won the fight by two rounds and believes his former amateur rival was saved by the judges. The Malmesbury fighter gets a second shot at the Lord Lonsdale crown when he clashes with current Champion Robbie Davies Jr at The M&S Bank Arena Liverpool on March 30, live on Sky Sports in the UK and DAZN in the US. Since his first attempt at the British title, Hughes has gone on to claim the European title against Andrea Scarpa in a career-best win on away soil in Italy, but insists the British title has been the belt he has wanted most since turning pro in 2010. “Winning the British title has always been a goal of mine as a professional boxer,” said Hughes. “Ever since I started boxing it’s been the belt that I wanted. I think it’s the same for all British fighters, it’s the most prestigious belt out there and I’m excited to be going for it again later this month. “Obviously I’ve won the European title which is a bigger belt in terms of rankings and things like that, but the British belt is special and to win it would be a huge honour.
