TOPPING the bill was talented Birmingham boxer, Ryan Kelly, who made a welcome return to the ring after a near two-year absence. Back after a stint living in Dubai, “Ruthless” has teamed up with John Costello and made his BCB debut after penning a management contract earlier this year. The 27 year-old worked through the gears against the ever-tricky, Dwain Grant.
His quality really showed at times but, after so long out of the ring, it was rounds that was key for the popular Brummie and, in Grant as a dance partner, he was able to get them in. Kelly will be looking to follow up his 60-54 shut out win with another outing before Christmas as he eyes the big fights once again.
