Huge local favourite “Dirty” Derry Matthews kept his career rolling after picking up the vacant WBA Continental Lightweight title against Adam Dingsdale.
Matthews has practically done it all at domestic level and is desperate to secure a world title shot before retiring but he readily admits that one more defeat could very well spell the end.
St. Helens born Dingsdale was stepping up in class and had a full training camp for this fight, instead of a week or so notice, and knew what a massive opportunity he had in front of him.
Dingsdale started by throwing widely and falling short with his jab whilst Matthews took command of centre ring and landed a lovely 3 punch combination. Both ended the 1st round throwing shots but it was Matthews that landed a solid straight right hand that certainly got Dingsdale’s attention. [Click Here To Read More]
