Stokes edged out in a thriller
Andy Whittle RINGSIDE
ONLY rarely do Area title fights fail to deliver and this one, for the vacant Midlands Area middleweight belt at a noisy Kings Hall, certainly didn’t disappoint. Local favourite Nathan Heaney edging home 96-94 on the card of referee-for-the-night Kevin Parker at the conclusion of a 10-round cracker against West Bromwich’s Tom Stokes.
