Ricky Summers eyes up a title shot

The 30 year-old was due to fight for an IBO Continental Title but a late pull out meant Summers took on Bulgarian Teyar Mehmed over six rounds.

Digger boxed well behind a solid jab to record a 60-53 win on referee for the evening Martin Williams’ scorecard.

Summers now has his eyes on a shot at the English or British strap.

Fellow English Title contender, Halesowen super middleweight, Lennox Clarke, was also in action.

The 26 year-old was due to challenge English Champion Darryl Williams on the postponed Billy Joe Saunders versus Martin Murray bill last weekend but, following an injury to BJS, has saw that chance postponed until the summer.

Clarke stepped in to keep active and took on Wilmer Gonzalez. He punished his Nicaraguan opponent after Gonzalez came in almost a stone over the 12st 4lb agreed limit; stopping him inside a round.

There was disappointment for Dudley middleweight Ryan Aston who slipped to defeat at the fists of Wiltshire’s Anthony Fox.

After a decent opener, Aston looked in control of proceedings but Fox bit back in the second and dropped Aston with a stiff right hand in the fourth and final round. ‘Tank’ was quickly on his feet but couldn’t stop Fox recording a slightly generous, if deserved, 40-37 win.

Poland’s Wolverhampton based welterweight, Damian Kiwior, made it back-to-back victories since turning pro last month as he defeated Mario Petrov.

Kiwior put in a solid display against a game opponent. His hand speed and footwork were on point as eased to a 40-37 win.

Kiwior is back out again in June as he fights on the Thomas Essomba versus Kyle Williams English Bantamweight Title fight in Wolverhampton.

Derby welterweight Sajid Abid made it five wins in his fifth year as a professional with a shut out 40-36 win over Braintree’s Dylan Draper.

Burton’s Leon Gower negotiated his way past the always tough Brett Fidoe. Gower, hoping to land a shot at the vacant Midlands Area Super Bantamweight Title, had one of his toughest nights to date against the Evesham road warrior. The 40-37 was closer than the scoreline suggested.
