Last Sunday at another top class Brian Amatruda and Barry Michael Sports’ Docklands promotion, former reality TV Contender star Sam Soliman beat Queenslander Les Piper, taking home the interim WBF World Middleweight Championship. In the seventh round after Piper was dropped by a body shot for the second time, he struggled to rise again when the referee Ignatius Missailidis intervened and waved off the fight.

Just prior to this bout Lance Gostelow comfortably outpointed former Nigerian Fatai Onikeke to win the WBF World Super Lightweight championship taking his record to an impressive 20-2.
