GILES ALL SMILES

Four home winners on Humberside

DESPITE losing its bill-topping Central Area middleweight title bout between Brough champ Matthew “Warpath” Wigglesworth and Manchester challenger John Telford a few weeks beforehand, this four-bout Carl Greaves offering in the Kingston Suite at the KC Stadium went ahead regardless - and those in attendance appeared more than happy with the fare served up.

The only scheduled six-rounder on the card pitched unbeaten Grimsby operator Levi Giles in against still winless Welsh lightweight Robbie

Forster who, up against it from the outset against the supremely confident Humberside puncher, retired at the conclusion of the second session.

Scunthorpe welter Luke Fisher impressed in completing a hat-trick of early career victories by outpointing Brummie Ben Fields, who must be the busiest boxer in the country at the moment - this was the Digbeth man’s fourth outing of the year so far and the third consecutive week that he’d laced up the gloves.

He doesn’t just turn up to make up the numbers either and gave a decent account of himself once more before going down 39-37 on the card of Howard Foster, who scored from ringside throughout while Leeds trialist Andy Brook handled things inside the ring.

Also victorious over four were Scunthorpe southpaw Ryan Gibbons and local firsttimer Lewis Sylvester. Bantamweight Ryan condemned Birmingham’s Reiss “Showy”

Taylor to a fourth successive loss to the tune of 40-36 and lightweight Sylvester mirrored the feat by besting regular visitor Simas Volosinas of Lithuania who, a regular favourite of British matchmakers when putting together small hall bills, was having his 93rd paid bout.
