All Results from the Leicester Arena ALL RESULTS FROM THE LEICESTER ARENA A slugfest; a Fight of the Year contender; and huge knockouts – bringing boxing back to Leicester delivered! Catch up with the results from the Leicester Arena below. Fight # 1 6 X 3 Minute Rounds Super-Middleweight Contest CHRIS BLANEY WPTS6 (58-56) V CHRISTIAN HOSKIN GOMEZ Ricky Hatton’s Super-Middleweight charge Chris Blaney opened the evening’s action with a hard-fought points win over Plymouth’s Christian Hoskin Gomez. The ‘Ginja Ninja’ from Navan, Ireland was made to work for his win, with Gomez pushing him throughout. Fight # 2 6 X 3 Minute Rounds Lightweight Contest TOM STALKER WPTS6 (60-55) V CHRIS ADAWAY Former WBO European Lightweight Champion Tom Stalker made a winning return against Chris Adaway. Stalker, 32, put the disappointment of losing his European title to Craig Evans behind him with a comfortable 60-55 decision over Plymouth’s Adaway. Fight # 3 6 X 3 Minute Rounds International Super-Bantamweight Contest RAZA HAMZA WPTS6 (59-55) V RAFAEL CASTILLO Birmingham’s Raza Hamza improved his unbeaten record to 8-0-1 with a gutsy win over tough South American journeyman Rafael Castillo. Hamza, 24, put Castillo down in the first round but was unable to force the stoppage, despite landing some impressive combos. Fight # 4 6 X 3 Minute Rounds Super-Welterweight Contest SAM MAXWELL WTKO6 (0:55) V GEORGIE WRIGHT Commonwealth Bronze Medallist Sam Maxwell moved to 2-0 with his first professional TKO win over Loughton’s Georgie Wright. Maxwell, trained by legendary Liverpool coach George Vaughan, produced an eye-catching performance, making Wright miss throughout. The stoppage came 55 seconds into the fifth round. Fight # 5 4 X 3 Minute Rounds Welterweight Contest EKOW ESSUMAN WTKO3 (0:26) V CASEY BLAIR Nottingham Welterweight talent Ekow Essuman moved to 3-0 with an explosive stoppage win over Northern Ireland’s Casey Blair. Essuman, trained by Barrington Brown, was too strong for Blair, forcing the stoppage 26 seconds into the third. Fight # 6 – 18:30 hrs THE INTERIM WBO WORLD BANTAMWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP 12 X 3 Minute Rounds ZOLANI TETE WUD12 (119-108, 119-108, 120-107) V ARTHUR VILLANUEVA Slick South African Zolani Tete picked up the Vacant Interim WBO World Bantamweight crown after outclassing Arthur Villanueva at the Leicester Arena, live on BoxNation. The fight, originally scheduled to be an elimination bout to determine the mandatory challenger for the WBO Bantamweight Title, was elevated to an Interim Title status after Marlon Tapales was stripped of the Championship for missing weight prior to his defence against Shohei Omori in Japan. Tete (25-3, 20 KO’s) was well on top for the majority of the fight as Villanueva struggled to deal with his impressive timing and speed. ‘Last Born’, a former IBF Super-Flyweight Champion, landed several punishing shots on the Philippine and dropped him in the eleventh round. Fight # 7 THE ENGLISH SUPER-MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP 10 X 3 Minute Rounds JAHMAINE SMYLE WSD12 (97-95, 96-95, 98-93) V DARRYLL WILLIAMS ‘Ferocious’ Darryll Williams and Jahmaine ‘Smasher’ Smyle fought a tremendous battle for the English Super-Middleweight title, with many describing the all-out war as an early contender for Fight of the Year. Williams travelled to Leicester to take Smyle on in his own back yard and dragged him into a thrilling confrontation, seizing the belt on a split decision. There was no love lost in the build up to their eagerly- anticipated clash, and the fight certainly didn’t fail to deliver. South London’s Williams moves to 15-0 with a career best win. Fight # 8 6 X 3 Minute Rounds Light-Heavyweight Contest ANTHONY YARDE WTKO1 (2:17) V DARREN SNOW Ilford’s Light-Heavyweight ‘Beast’ Anthony Yarde finished Sheffield’s Darren Snow with a sickening body shot in the opening round. Yarde unloaded a punishing combination and a brutal right hand body shot to drop Snow heavily to the canvas. It was the sixth first-round knockout win of his 10-0. 9 KO’s career. Next up for Yarde is a shot at the Southern Arena title against Chris Hobbs at the Copper Box Arena on Saturday 20th May. Fight # 9 4 X 3 Minute Rounds Heavyweight Contest DANIEL DUBOIS WTKO2 (0:48) V BLAISE MENDOUO Dynamite Daniel Dubois blasted out former Olympian and Commonwealth Games Bronze Medallist Blaise Mendouo (3-2) in the second round of his second professional fight. Early in the second round a huge right cross and heavy left hook dropped Mendouo in the ropes to earn 19-year-old Dubois another impressive knockout win. Fight # 10 THE BRITISH SUPER-LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP 12 X 3 Minute Rounds TYRONE NURSE V JOE HUGHES D12 (116-113, 113-115, 115-115) Huddersfields Tyrone Nurse retained his British Super- Lightweight title after tough Malmesbury man Joe Hughes held him to a majority draw. Hughes dug deep and took the fight to his much-fancied opponent in the early rounds. With Nurse boasting a superior reach, Hughes had to box clever on the inside and did well to wrap up his opponent, who had been out of action since September last year, The contest continued to ebb and flow between the two contrasting styles in the closing rounds. After the fight, both fighters expressed a desire to settle the draw with a rematch. Fight # 11 THE VACANT MIDLANDS AREA SUPER-FEATHERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP 10 X 3 Minute Rounds LYON WOODSTOCK WTKO3 (2:45) V PAUL HOLT Exciting Leicester Super-Featherweight talent Lyon Woodstock forced an impressive third round TKO over Birmingham’s Paul Holt to pick up the Vacant Midlands Area strap – his first professional Title. Holt came out all guns blazing and appeared to have Woodstock in trouble during the first round, attempting to bully him into submission. Woodstock steamed into Holt in the third, forcing Holt to cover up and protect himself from a punishing barrage of well- timed combos. The Leicester man got his stoppage win 2:45 into the third round, finishing the fight with a big left hand followed by a brutal right before the referee jumped in. Fight # 12 THE WBO INTERIM WORLD MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP 12 X 3 Minute Rounds TOMMY LANGFORD V AVTANDIL KHURTSIDZE WTKO5 (0:27) Birmingham’s Tommy Langford was beaten by Avtandil Khurtsidze with a fifth-round stoppage as the Brooklyn-based Georgian set up a bout against WBO World Champion Billy Joe Saunders. Khurtsidze came out swinging, putting Langford under relentless pressure from the off. He caught Langford a couple of times with his vicious left hand and barely took a step back during the opening rounds. British Champion Langford was drawn in to a slugfest at times, unable to keep the 5′ 4″ ‘mini Mike Tyson’ at bay. It was a huge left hand from Khurtsidze that finished the fight, Langford dropped his hands and was unable to avoid the shot. The stoppage came 27 seconds into the fifth round. Unbeaten WBO boss Saunders was unimpressed with Khurtsidze’s win, stating: “No disrespect to him but I will show you what he is when I fight him. All he is to me is a puffed up Danny De Vito coming forward throwing punches. “He will never beat me ever and I will make him look stupid. Tommy should have got on his feet and made him miss and made him pay.” Fight # 13 8 X 3 Minute Rounds International Middleweight Contest ALEX HUGHES WTKO1 V DANIEL URBANSKI Maerdy Middleweight Alex Hughes took his unbeaten record into double figures with an impressive first round demolition of Poland’s Daniel Urbanski. Fight # 14 4 X 3 Minute Rounds Super-Welterweight Contest C.J CHALLENGER WTKO1 V DANNY LITTLE In the final fight of the evening, Leicester Super- Welterweight CJ Challenger moved to 3-0 with a first-round TKO of Driffield’s Danny Little..

  • 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.

  • The Policies and Politics of Massification of University Education in Nigeria, 1952-2000
    THE POLICIES AND POLITICS OF MASSIFICATION OF UNIVERSITY EDUCATION IN NIGERIA, 1952-2000 Ogechi Emmanuel Anyanwu A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2006 Committee: Apollos O. Nwauwa, Advisor Kefa M. Otiso Graduate Faculty Representative Robert Buffington Lillian Ervine Ashcraft-Eason © 2006 Ogechi Emmanuel Anyanwu All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Apollos O. Nwauwa, Advisor This study constitutes a history of the policies and politics surrounding the massification of university education in Nigeria between 1952 and 2000. The concept of massification as used in this study refers to a program of expansion of facilities and mass access to university education in post-independent Nigeria. In 1948, the British colonial administration in Nigeria established the first university, the University College of Ibadan (UCI). However, from 1948 through 1959, the British consistently ignored the growing demand for more access to university education. To address this problem, the Nigerian government set up the Ashby Commission to study the country’s higher education needs on the eve of independence. Following the report of the Commission, the Nigerian government realigned university education policies and vigorously embarked on policies of massification. This study shows that the policies and politics of massification were embarked upon largely in response to the critical needs for human resources, economic development, and national integration. Furthermore, it examines how the divergent and, sometimes, inconsistent interests of the pluralistic society of Nigeria, the politics of oil revenue and state creation, the ideologies of civilian/military governments and international forces shaped policy initiatives, shifts, and outcomes of massification.

  • 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.

  • Maxwell Inks Promotional Deal with Frank Warren
    MAXWELL INKS PROMOTIONAL DEAL WITH FRANK WARREN 2014 Commonwealth Games Bronze Medallist Sam Maxwell has signed a long-term promotional deal with Hall of Famer Frank Warren. A member of the illustrious GB squad for five years, Maxwell boasts an impressive amateur pedigree. As well as capturing Bronze in the Light-Welterweight division at Glasgow 2014, Maxwells’ extensive lists of accolades also includes two ABAE Elite Championship wins in 2011 and 2014. Maxwell, trained by the legendary George Vaughan at Derry Mathews’ gym in Liverpool, had the opportunity to share the ring with two-weight World Champion and pound-for-pound superstar Vasyl Lomachenko on two occasions. “I boxed Lomachenko twice in two weeks, once in Kiev and once in London, the second time I really held my own, it was a really good fight,” said Maxwell. “I’ve had ten rounds with him in total and it was a great experience. He’s the best fighter in the World and it’s given me a lot of confidence moving forward. “I competed at an elite level in the amateurs against some of the very best boxers in the World. I took a lot from fighting in the World Series Boxing and proved I belong at the top. I’m looking to use all of that experience to help me progress quickly in the pro game.” The 28-year-old made a winning start to his professional career last October, outpointing the experienced journeyman Ibrar Riyaz in his home city. Now he is looking to take his career onto the next level under the guidance of Warren.
