GARY SYKES – Did not perform to his best but did enough to win The British Super-Featherweight title beating Andy Morris on points in a cracking fight with all 3 judges scoring in his favour. Gary was very nervous but settled down to show plenty of heart and determination to go with his good work rate , now he is a champion the confidence will grow and we hope that his next performance will show his full variety of shots and a more mature performance. Gary is now undefeated in 14 and we hope to win the Lonsdale belt outright and then move on to European level.
TYRONE NURSE – Moved to 12-0 with what proved a tricky victory over Adam Kelly . Tyrone Was a bit flat early on and did not use his excellent jab as much as normal and was even caught square in round 2 that saw him touch down in embarrassment .That was the wake up call he needed and he rose , shook of his laughter and started to control the fight which saw him a comfortable 58-56 winner on points.
JOSH WARRINGTON – Dominated his 4 round contest which was also shown on SKY and the 19 year old moves to 3-0 .
CHAD GAYNOR – Chad shown his ability last Sunday at Rotherham when he moved to 3-0 with a third round stoppage victory
BRETT FLOURNEY – Is back down to Welterweight after his adventure in the Light-Middleweight Prize-fighter competition which saw him loose in the final to Prince Arran. Brett won his first 2 fights with ease and was also winning the final until he touched down in the last round swinging the votes the other way. Brett can make the 10st 7lb limit and is now looking for meaningful fights at this weight and would be willing to fight anyone in a eliminator including local boy Michael Jennings.
14TH MARCH AT BOLTON – All is running well for this weeks VIP show which will be topped by local hero Alex Mattvienko with a very full undercard . Following the jinxed Blackpool show which had to be cancelled the already mega show will have extra fights added from Blackpool , full details will be posted shortly.

VIP Boxing has been forced to scrap their show at Blackpool Tower on Saturday night (March 6) due to illness and injury.
Bill topper Brian Rose was forced to pull out today (Thursday) after going down with a bout of flu, Terry Flannigan is also unwell, while bantamweight prospect Kieran Farrell is injured.
Fans who purchased tickets will receive a full refund from the point of purchase.
Some of the fights scheduled to take place on the Blackpool bill will be added to the next VIP show at Bolton on March 14, and others placed elsewhere.
Promoter Steve Wood hopes to reschedule the Blackpool bill in the next couple of months and apologises to loyal fans and VIP boxers affected by the second postponement of the show.
He said: “I can only say sorry to fans that had made plans to be in Blackpool this weekend. If I went ahead with the promotion it would not be value for money.
“It has been jinxed from the off and lose seven boxers from the original ten house fighters due to fight – Brian Rose, Jack Arnfield, Mike Stafford, Brett Flourney, Kieran Farrell, Terry Flannigan and Lee Jennings.
“Brian was unwell on Wednesday and saw a doctor, but he felt worse when he woke up on Thursday morning and is in no condition to fight ten rounds leaving him little option but to pull out.
“The other lads pulled out earlier in the week, but I wanted to press on for Brian’s sake.”
Further details of the fights being added to our Bolton bill will be released next week.

FARRELL: LIVES FOR BOXING AND THE SUPERMARKET
MOST professional boxers will tell you about their dedication, but few can match bantamweight hopeful Kieran Farrell.
The Heywood teenager bids to stretch his unbeaten record to five wins when he tackles Anwar Alfadi at Blackpool Tower on Saturday night (March 6).
Ambitious Farrell, 19, trains under top Manchester trainer Bobby Rimmer who is amazed at the prospects dedication.
Rimmer said: “All my kids are dedicated so I do not like to single any one out, but there can’t be many fighters anywhere who are so committed to the sport as Kieran.
“He only goes to two places outside his house – Morrisons and the gym. Kieran lives and breathes boxing and thinks of nothing else.
“When he is matched he knows everything about the opponent before we look them up. His knowledge is incredible.
“I know he has had so few fights, but I think he is ready to fight the top domestic kids in his division because there is so few decent fighters around.”
Farrell who is managed and promoted by Steve Wood turned professional 13 months ago when he stopped Gary Sheil and continued to impress not losing a round in three subsequent fights.
Rimmer added: “Kieran is improving all the time and I couldn’t be more pleased with his progress.
“When he first walked in my gym I thought he was a 12-year-old schoolboy who wanted to look around and not the kid I wasn’t to meet about training him.”
Top of the talent stacked VIP bill is local hero Brian Rose’s vacant International Masters light-middleweight showdown against French star Bertrand Aloa
Also on the card are several if VIP boxing’s prospects including Terry Flannigan , Chris O’Brien and Chris Johnson.
Tickets, priced at £35 are still available from boxers on the bill www.ticketmaster.co.uk and www.vipbe.co.uk

BRIAN ROSE is heading towards a showdown with Prizefighter winner Prince Arron.
Rose, 25, hopes to delight his hometown fans at Blackpool Tower on Saturday night (6th March) when he challenges French star Bertrand Aloa for the vacant International Masters light-middleweight crown.
Promoter Steve Wood hopes that the Central Area title holder could meet his occasional sparring partner Arron in a British title eliminator later this year.
Wood said: “It is a match that would make a lot of sense for both boxers and would be a genuine 50-50 fight.
“Brian is unbeaten and Arron is in top form as he showed at Prizefighter last week, but we cannot over look this weekend’s challenge.”
Rose (14-0-1) added: “It was difficult to work Arron out when we first sparred because he is 6ft 4in, but by the end it had gone well.”
Rose’s clash against Aloa had been due to take place last weekend but was pushed back seven days at late notice because of a problem with medicals.
Manchester based Wood said: “I would like to apologise to everybody because the mix up was my fault and left it too late to get the medicals to the relevant authorities.
“I’m sure disappointed fans will get proper entertainment this weekend though and enjoy a top class night of boxing.
The tear up the Tower will be Rose’s first fight since his tragic tenth round stoppage of Jason Rushton in October.
Rushton needed brain surgery after the contests and although he is on the mend, the injury left Rose distraught and he is dedicating the Aloa (15-6) fight to his former rival.
Also on the bill are several if VIP boxing’s top prospects including Kieran Farrell, Chris O’Brien and Chris Johnson.
Tickets are still available from boxers on the bill www.ticketmaster.co.uk and www.vipbe.co.uk

JAMIE MOORE – Next boxes on the 3rd April 2010 Hayemaker event at the MEN arena where he will compete at Middleweight in a 10 round International contest. He was offered the Darren Barker fight but the team declined this as it was over 8 years ago when he first fought for a British title and we all believe he is beyond domestic level. A inspired performance at the new weight is expected and then we can look for World opportunities.
TONY QUIGLEY – Also fights on this card in a 8 round contest and is also now campaigning at Middleweight . Tony offered to take the Darren Barker fight on this show but was turned down at the other end , it should also be noted he accepted a proposal to fight Brian Magee for the European Super-Middleweight title on this promotion but negotiations collapsed.
CARL DILKS – Was gutted to see his British Eliminator with George Groves fall through due to George getting a shot at the Commonwealth title. Carl is still on the show but only doing a 6 round contest with the promise of first crack at Groves should he win.
GARY DAVIES – Will have to wait for a shot at Stuart Hall and the English Bantamweight title as Hall as pulled out of the schedule 19th March event at Leigh stating a preference to go to purse bids. Gary now boxes Andy Bell in a round contest.
27th BLACKPOOL TOWER SHOW – Tickets priced at £35.00 are still available for this great venue and event which will be topped by local hero Brian Rose fighting for the British Masters International title against Frenchman Bertrand Aloa supported with a 7 fight under card . Tickets will be available on the night.
