Jack Rafferty TKO7 Reece MacMillan... On the Manchester, England undercard on Saturday, Jack Rafferty retained his British and Commonwealth junior welterweight weight titles against challenger Reece MacMillan. Rafferty bossed the fight from the start and wore down his opponent with some textbook boxing. The MacMillan corner threw in the towel and referee Mark Bates waved off the contest after 1.37 of the seventh round.

 

Zach Parker W10 Michael Diallo... Zach Parker labored in his light heavyweight match-up against late notice opponent Michael Diallo. The Derbyshire man did have the better of it but was badly marked up and often manhandled by the capable Frenchman. The scorecards were in favor of Parker, reading 98-92, 98-93 and 97-94. Victor Loughlin refereed.

 

Zak Miller W12 Masood Abdulah... Following a cracking clash at featherweight, Zak Miller is the new British and Commonwealth champion after he got the better of the previously unbeaten Masood Abdulah. Miller started the brighter before Abdulah forced his way back into the fight, but the local lad rallied strongly at the finish to secure the belts. The fight was scored 114-114, 115-114 and 115-113. Mark Lyson was the referee.
