BoxAcademy London a great success
It started with Tom Baker and Dan Blackwell, and it ended with the Rainham Steel fight of the night - Paul Butler taking a handsome points win over Ashley Sexton, who had previously weighed in four pounds over.
A sweaty York Hall was packed to the rafters as the punters went mad for some of Britain's best up and coming talent. And no fighter enjoyed a better reception than debutant Joey "Joeboy" Taylor, who looked very strong as he banged out Michael Stupart within two minutes for the TKO.
