Tommy wu, who is making his pro debut, won the unanimous decision against anthony curtis.
He was 3 and 14 with two knockouts who used his superior boxing skills and lateral movement to secure a nice win.
He said it was a great experience to get my pro debut out of the way, i’m still learning and getting my first win as professional uh and getting that first win as a professional.
It’S a big weight off my back, and i would i know, with more fights i’ll be getting better and better.

We see that ashley eels makes up for lost time, as he returns this friday in dudley.
For those who don’t know, uh dudley is in the west midlands.
In england, ashley eels has ambitions to make up for two years lost in 10 months.
Uh ashley eels has ambitions to make up for two lost years in 10 months and become the midlands super welterweight champion.
His return will come when bcb promotions are back at the venue in dudley for the first time since july 2019 as part of a friday fight night on march, 4th eels hasn’t boxed since february 2020 himself, when he moved to 2-0 with four round point success over Jordan grunham through a 40-37 scoreline that built upon his 2019 debut, where he shut out kevin mccauley through a 40 36 points landslide, which is his last action to date.
But the 27 year old from newton is coming back with a bang and get busy quickly with the area crown in mind that is currently held by kyle.
Aywood eels is still developing after a short amateur career with just six bouts, but all wins and three of them by stoppage before that he was a professional dancer nicknamed the real deal.
He believes he’s got all the attributes to pick up the titles and is fully focused on his craft.
With a hat trick of pro victories first in mind, he said: i’m training full time.
It’S a conscious decision to dedicate myself to boxing after basically having two years off my career of my career, taken away from me because of the pandemic, i’m living with my parents splitting my time between there and staying at my girlfriends, but because i’m putting the work In i’m, hoping it’ll pay off by the end of the year, even in my last pro fights, the only thing that’s been holding me back has been my fitness.
The talent has always been there, and i’ve only been boxing for a few years.
It does come easy for me, particularly the movement side of it, but i’ve got a background as a professional dancer that used to be my whole life wow.
How things have changed.
That’S an understatement.
Ethan collins steps through the ropes for his third pro contest this friday.
This will also take place at the same uh venue called the venue in dudley, west midlands, obviously on the same card as mr eels.
It will be a home from home for ethan collins when he steps through the ropes for his third professional contest.
There won’t be far free to go when bcb promotions are back at the venue dudley for the first time since july 2019.
As this as part of this friday’s fight, night collins is from wolverhampton but lives in gornall, with his training coming under coach tony marshall, at darlaston boxing club, it was with darlaston and brookland’s boxing club, where the 23 year old super lightweight spent his amateur career, which Gleaned 23 wins from 35 bouts he’s 2-0 a pro debuting in september at the stadium suite in walsall football club, outpointing paul cummings by a 40-36 scoreline in a four rounder all of 19 days later collins was back in the ring at the hangar events venue in Wolverhampton to take on dez newton prevailing by another 40 to 36 points decision.
Another fight date at the hangar in december fell by the wayside due to an illness, meaning there has been a five-month wait for further ring action.
Collins is used to being out and about uh from working as a landscaper with bleak sheds and fencing of dudley who are his main sponsor.
He said it’s been a pretty normal camp in terms of how hard i’ve trained the preparation has stayed.
The same.
We’Ve just worked on a few little things i meant to be out in december, but i contracted covid, which kept me out of the gym, so i decided to give it a miss rather than be at 90.
My last one was a nice little fight.
I boxed the orders and didn’t get too involved.
My opponent was trying to egg me on, but i didn’t fall for it.
I’M too laid back for that.
I like to keep it clean and show my skills.
It was me who dedicated the pace and won every round.
I slowed things down, set my feet more than my debut my box orthodox, but i’m actually left-handed.
I throw a hard jab that flicks out and is sharp and strong, but i can punch with my right hand as well, it’s a nice weapon to have and my ability to adapt as a strength.
So i’m hoping to use more of that this time.
I can’t wait for the show in dudley and it looks like across the pond we’re going to talk about dex, felon, dex, fellman, headlines, fight zone this saturday in newark.
That would be new.
Oh, i am absolutely wrong.
There are actually two new works.
I just thought i thought they were talking about newark in new jersey, but no at the lady eastwood pavilion on the newark showground in newark england, um dex spellman gets headline honors on saturday march, 5th uh as part as the part of the for, as on the First carl greaves promotion show of 2022 entitled don’t blink and they are delighted.

I guess you lost that one.
It was always the plan to take a break from the sport following such tough fights with lyndon arthur and anthony yard.
I was struggling with injury during my preparation for both those fights, but if i’d won those fights, it would have been life-changing for me, so i couldn’t say no to really either.
I’Ve also made the massive decision to change trainers for the next chapter of my career.
At cruiserweight, carl griez will still be my manager, but i’ll be trained by al osta of osta boxing moving forward.
It was a mutually agreed decision, but i still want him part of any success.
I may have it’s been an emotional journey that we’ve been on and he’s been a massive influence on my boxing and in my life it’s been one hell of a journey which me and dak have been on.
It’S been a massive roller coaster, lots of highs and lows the tragic death of scott westgard following their fight at doncaster’s dome nearly four years ago and then winning the english light heavyweight with scott’s family present at a packed skunthorpe’s bath hall 16 months later sums it Up for me really said, manager grieves chocolatito versus julio hazar.

The exciting mexican has spoken freely of his desire to move up in weight and challenge himself against the cream of the 115 pound scene like chocolatito and estrada and opportunities knocked loudly for the 26 year old to announce himself at super flyweight in san diego and el Rey plans to do so in style against the nicaraguan star a stacked undercard sees mercy.

He rose to the occasion and fought a valiant fight.
However, i believe i won a very close fight.

We both went in there and fought our guts out for 12 rounds, but the personal tax on myself, and especially my family, are disgusting and uncalled for my days at 140 are numbered.
My future is at welterweight, jack cadwell deserves another title shot and as soon as possible and i’ve never ducked a challenge in my career and i’d be happy to fight jack again, but it would have to be at well to wait.
