Hall vs. Power

By Shaun Campbell: Olympian and rising star Tony Jeffries tonight drew to journeyman Michael Banbula over 8 rounds at the Rainton Meadows Arena, Houghton-le-Spring, Tyne and Wear. Jeffries failed to overcome the awkward Polish light-heavyweight, but Banbula is better than his record would suggest. He recently defeated former world champion Tony Oakey.

STUEY HALL has revealed how he transformed from scraping a living in Ibiza to becoming an unlikely professional boxing champion. The Darlington boxer, 30, makes the first defence of his British bantamweight title when he faces old rival Martin Power (21-5) at Rainton Meadows Arena, Houghton-Le-Spring on Friday (July 23).
