Armenian boxer and European welterweight champion David Avanesyan who trains in Newark under Carl Greaves was back in the country for his latest fight.

Avanesyan fought former Olympian Serge Ambomo at The Eastside Roads in Birmingham where he won via a stoppage in the fourth round.

The two men had previously fought in 2017 when Avanesyan won on points over the Cameroonian boxer.

"He is currently fourth in the world with the WBC and he has to fight at least every 12 months or he would lose his ranking.

"We have been promised big names and big fights after the defeat against Terrance Crawford but another big fight has not happened.

"So we decided to fight Serge on a low profile, small hall fight and David got the victory.
