CINDY NGAMBA had to settle for Olympic bronze after she was edged out by Atheyna Bylon in their 75kg semi-final on Thursday night.

EVERY so often there occurs a contest between two British greats, one on the way up but not quite there, and the other an established great who is only just starting to slide. From my youth I remember the March 1977 contest between Dave Boy Green and John H Stracey as a case in point….
1) Bloody brilliant As if envious of Tim Tszyu’s efforts the night before, Fabio Wardley did his best to produce a similar amount of blood during his headline fight with Frazer Clarke. He bled profusely from a cut on his nose in round two but, like Tszyu, refused to let it get the better of…

I THOUGHT Dalton Smith was impressive last weekend stopping Jose Zepeda in only five rounds with a great body shot. The fight was pretty even up until the stoppage and showed Smith can box at world level and has the power to close the show when it’s needed. It was refreshing to see that afterwards…
LEIGH WOOD is confident that if a rematch against Josh Warrington does happen that he can win in quicker fashion than last time. Both fighters, now at super-featherweight, haven’t fought since their battle at the Sheffield Arena over six months which saw Wood rally and stop Warrington in the seventh round. Wood had hoped that…
