CARL DILCS – Beat local rival Joe Ainscouth in what was the fight of the night , the 4 rounder really was like a prizefighter contest and it was enjoyed that much they have both asked for it again but over longer rounds – it will be on our VIP show in Liverpool on the 10th March .

TOM CARRUS – Beat Robin Deacon on points on the Derry Matthews undercard.

GARY DAVIES – Is also on the 3rd February show and looking to impress before he is back in title contention.

RHYS ROBERTS – Makes his VIP debut on the 25th February at Oldham having been released by Hatton Promotions following his defeat in the Prizefighter final to the experienced Choi and turning down the offer to fight his friend Scott Quigg for the British Title – we expect to develop Rhys into a champion.

VIP Boxing Results from Wigan 3rd December

Tuesday, December 6th, 2011

VIP RESULTS FROM WIGAN ON 3RD DECEMBER 2011

BRIAN ROSE – Put in the best performance of his career to totally outbox Prince Aaron and become the NEW Light-Middleweight Champion of Britain. Since the fight has been announced Brian and trainer Bobby Rimmer have been focused on nothing else but winning that Lonsdale belt and put together a plan that was formed from many rounds of sparring between the 2 friends . Brian executed it to perfection and made what everybody thought was a hard fight a easy one , the judge who picked Aaron in the split decision was seen at specsavers on Sunday morning !!!

KARL PLACE – Suffered his first defeat in 16 fights when he was stopped on his feet by Steve Williams . The game plan to out box his opponent for 4 rounds before taking it to him was ruined when a good shot from Williams was followed by a head clash which took Karls legs from him . This left him pinned on the ropes , Karl did try to move away but the legs were not functioning with his brain and the referee jumped in with a perfect stoppage. He will be back !!

RICK GODDING – Out boxed Vinny Woolford who was coming in confident after a 3 fight winning run to move to 14-0 with a classy display which shown he is ready to be tested against the likes of Denton Vassal and Colin Lynnes , we would take either and expect a victory .

NICK QUIGLEY – Bounced back from his loss in the Prize-Fighter final to beat Dee Mitchell in a fight that could have been in a phone box and left the referee with no work to do . Nick dominated the contest with a great work rate to win 60-54 moving to 10-1 and closing in on a CA title shot.

CARL DILKS – Came back from a long time out to shake off the rust and beat Simeon Cover on points , Dilksy will now back in Liverpool on the 21st July in a local derby against his mate Joe Ainscough .

JON KAYS – Failed to get up for the fight with Pavel Senkov and paid the price with a draw . Jon will now box in the new year for the English title against Ben Jones when hopefully we should see a vast improvement and a belt round his waist.

Latest VIP Boxing News

Sunday, November 20th, 2011

JAMES ‘JAZZA’ DICKENS – Moved to 6-0 last Saturday when he halted the normally durable Jamie Ancliffe in a one sided display dropping the Yorkshire man 3 times and forcing him to retire on his stool at the end of the second – Jazza is a dedicated Pro and is already back in the gym waiting for his next date from his promoter Ricky Hatton .

LUKE BLACKLEDGE – Also moved to 6-0 when he accepted the challenge to be in the away corner and box Phil Fury on the same night on the Hennessy promotion also in Manchester . A steady performance was enough to win 60-56 against a game but lighter opponent who Luke bullied backwards for most of the contest. Luke is back out in Colne on the 16th December

VIP BOXERS RESULTS FROM BOLTON 22ND OCTOBER 2011

Friday, October 28th, 2011

VIP BOXERS RESULTS FROM BOLTON 22ND OCTOBER 2011

KERRY HOPE – Led the way with a great performance beating the fancied Tony Hill in a British Middleweight eliminator . Kerry started at a fast pace and managed to keep the work rate up , it was this and a 10th round knock down that swayed the judges to give him the Victory.

KARL PLACE – Beat import Ivan Godor on points but was not one of his memorial performances , let’s hope he was thinking of his British eliminator in 5 weeks and we see a Kerry Hope performance .We expect better and are sure we will see it at Wigan on the 3rd December .

ALI SHA – Had his winning streak ended by Glen Foot who came in 5lb over the agreed 10st 8lb weight . Ali was adamant he wanted the contest and despite using borrowed trainers and not having time to warm up , his choice looked good when he clearly won the 1st round. We expected it to build up from there but unfortunately it was not the case as his punch output just stopped and he lost on points to the aggressive Foot but was never hurt.

JON KAYS – Beat the always value for money Ibrar Riyaz in a entertaining contest .It was great to get the cobwebs off after his defeat to Liam Walsh in his recent Commonwealth challenge , we hope another title challenge comes his way soon.

JOSH WARRINGTON – Put in another good shift in a great punch up that entertained the crowd ,the 60-54 result does not really show the effort put in by Dougie Curran who always competes. Josh moves to 9-0 and was watching the TOB with interest as it will surely not be long before he is at that level.

WARREN TANSEY – The popular Middleton Middleweight is always in a cracking contest and again did not fail in his points win over the durable Ryan Clark who put in extra effort in this one. Ryan is normally happy to see out the contest but needle crept into this one and Ryan had a real go but never looked like winning a contest that Warren dominated with his jab.
