The headliners' bouts included Tommy Lowe, aged 18 from Greenacres, winning the WMF pro am British title.

Brayden Watson (17) from Derker won the WMF European title.

Isaan Gym head coach and promoter Ste Donnelly said: "I’m very proud of all my boxers - we were over-matched and some of our novices had a really tough day at the office, but it’s the game. there was lots to take away from it.

"I’m absolutely blown away with the success of our first home show - thanks to everybody who bought tickets.

"All the gyms who supported the show were professional and it was nice to have the Fred Luxury fight team over from LiIle in France, who were an absolute pleasure to deal with.

"Also, a huge thanks to all our sponsors - without them it wouldn’t have been possible."
