Dexter’s Thoughts
It was fantastic to see all of the champions that Black Country Boxing Promotions have produced over the last few years. We had British, EBU’s, English European, WBC, IBO and IBF champions. It was also a pleasure to see Steve Bunce interview the fighters and chat about boxing before the boxing started. Really enjoyed this show with some great bouts of boxing on.
