JUST 24 hours after learning that he’d have home advantage for a second tilt at wresting the English lightweight title away from Derby’s Myron Mills on April 10, Brummie Kane Baker stayed busy at Banks’ Stadium (Black Country Boxing). A 58-56 victory came his way at the conclusion of an enjoyable tussle with Telford’s Dean Jones, who kept it competitive.
Germany-based heavyweight Emir Ahmatovic had stopped five out of seven going into a scheduled four against lighter Nicaraguan Walter Palacios. With former British and Commonwealth champion Scott Welch in his corner, the early signs suggested that the bearded Serbia-born puncher would likely be on for another inside-the-distance victory.
