Next up was another four threes between Peter Barney and George Jupp which was won by Jubb 40 - 37.

The third match of the night was a light-middleweight contest over four threes between Daryl Setterfield and Ryan Toms, with Settlefield taking 40 - 36 victory.

Next up was a four threes light heavyweight bout between Sam Couzens and Jamie Ambler with Couzens taking a narrow 39 - 38 points decision.

The fifth fight of the evening was a four threes between Wayne Goddard and Sergej Rozakmens which ended with Goddard stopping Rozakmens in the second round.

The last fight of the night saw Tony Oakey (pictured left) challenge Michael Banbula for the British Masters Light Heavyweight Championship.

The fight was for ten three minute rounds, and was to be Tony's last fight win or loose. The fight went the distance with Bambula taking the victory with a 97 - 95 point advantage.

I would like to wish Tony all the best for the future. P.S. Tony - was it a boy or a girl?
