It was a night of mixed emotion for Caylum Martin as Buxton Amateur Boxing Club staged their annual show at the town’s Devonshire Dome.

Martin had the unfortunate experience of his opponent pulling out at the last minute and was unable to box.

However, approaching his 10th bout in a year, Caylum was awarded Buxton's Most Outstanding Boxer after a fantastic season.

Topping the bill and returning after a three year break, Keanan Bates was equally matched in a terrific contest against Chorley opposition.

Both lads were sharp and fit, and had their successes on the front foot.

Bates showed his experience and pushed his man back to score more frequently in rounds two and three and take the bout. Bates will be out again in two weeks and this will be another bout worthy of a rematch.

Cyle Mcguigan was looking for a third win in three after two early stoppages earlier in November. Instead he got more valuable experience with a tough contest against an aggressive come forward boxer.
