A packed out York Hall last night saw another superb all action bill from Francis and George Warren’s Queensberry Promotions with a great performance from Streatham’s Leon Williams who won the British Cruiserweight Title on a majority decision over Rob Norton. Williams in a tough fight did all the forcing and Norton the former champ just kept holding the whole fight, but Williams kept coming forward and with virtually the whole crowd behind him was victorious.
Another fighter who brought a load of support with him was Cromer Super-Bantamweight Ryan Walsh who won the vacant English Title on points, beating Melksham’s Liam Rickards over 10 rounds (100-90, 100-90 and 99-91). Walsh was in control throughout the fight with Richards sustaining a cut in the 8th, Ryan had extra family support with his 2 brothers Liam and Michael in his corner too. Another victory for “Team Walsh” and the “Farmy Army”.
