Thanet's Dan Woodgate wins light heavyweight international masters crown on points
Dan Woodgate claimed the light heavyweight international masters
title on Friday night with a points victory over Lithuanian
Vygaudas Laurinkus.
The Minster, Thanet, boxer, pictured, was fighting 10
rounds for the first time at the Coronet Theatre in London, going
into the fight with just one defeat from his previous nine
professional outings.
The title fight topped the bill and Woodgate had to come back
from a scare midway through when he was caught with a
decent right-hander.
Woodgate, who had suffered with a stomach bug before the fight,
had the crowd behind him and in the latter stages came on
stronger.
Referee Robert Williams scored the fight 97-94
in his favour.
