Matthew in action

Of the Dragons Duo, Matthew Parker was up first, and though he battled well against Lincoln KBA's Andy Barnaby, he was unfortunately not fated to be the winner on his first outing. His comment: "a massive thank you to my coach 'fug' for all he's giving me in the past few months. Thank you for all the support from every body who came to the show, I didn't get the win I wanted but feel happy with myself for having a war with a great man/opponent. Crackin' show again, credit to Shawn and all the KBA team."
The Main Event
After some great clashes, the Main Event arrived, Callum Thompson vs Felling Warriors' Guy Johnson. Over a five-round contest, Callum appeared very much in control right from the opening minutes, working his way steadily through to the finish, thrilling the crowd. Weeks of intensive training paid off, as he won every round. The judges' decision surprised no-one, and the result - another belt and another title: ISKA British Super Middleweight Champion. A fabulous performance, and a well-earned victory!


Callum interviewed after the fight "I enjoyed that - he was a really tough opponent!"	Cal's comments: "Thank you everyone who came to support me. A big big thanks to my team - Shawn Burton, Aaron Robinson, big Nige and Matty Parker. Would of never been ready without you lads! So thanks!"
