And Wallop fighter Joe Langston bounced back from a recent defeat to claim a unanimous points victory at a Worcester City Amateur Boxing Club show.
Wallop’s director and lead coach, Carl Dickens said: “Joe Langston boxed in a very entertaining bout, he boxed beautifully, listening to instructions working behind a stiff jab and staying busy punching down the line to win on a unanimous decision.”
