AT DUDLEY 19TH FEBRUARY RICHARD SWALLOW THE 33 YEAR OLD BASED AT NORTHAMPTON DEFENDS HIS BRITISH MASTERS TITLE RICHARDS RECORD STANDS AT WON 19 (KO'S 4) LOST 12 DRAWN 1 MORE ABOUT RICHARD LATER.

IT SEEMS THAT CAPITOL PROMOTIONS SUPREMO KEVIN HOUSTON WILL NOT BE PUTTING ON ANY MORE SHOWS IN COVENTRY FOR THE THE NEXT SIX TO TWELVE MONTHS KEVIN NEEDS SOME TIME OUT TO GET OVER ALL THE THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED SINCE THAT NIGHT BACK IN JUNE 2003 ALL COVENTRY BOXING FANS HOPE TO SEE KEVIN BACK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND WISH HIM ALL THE BEST FOR THE FUTURE.

COVENTRY FAVOURITE ANDY HALDER HOPES TO BE ON THE DUDLEY SHOW THE SAME NIGHT AS RICHARD SWALLOW NEGOTIATIONS ARE TAKING PLACE FOR ANDY TO GO IN AGAINST MATT SCRIVEN FOR THE MIDLAND AREA LIGHT MIDDLE-WEIGHT TITLE. ANDY IS ONE OF THE UNFORTUNATE BOXERS WHO CANNOT GET OPPONENTS TO FIGHT HIM AND THIS REFLECTS HIS LOWLY POSITION IN THE RANKINGS WITH A RECORD OF WON 9 AND LOST 2

ALAN PHILLIPS IS NOW BACK ON THE COVENTRY BOXING SCENE WITH NEW OUTFIT COVENTRY SPORTING CLUB ALAN HAS ALWAYS BEEN GIVEN A LOT OF RESPECT AS BEING A TOP TRAINER FROM ALL THE LOCAL FIGHTERS ANYONE WHO TALKS TO ALAN FOR JUST A HALF HOUR CAN TELL YOU WHAT AN ENTHUSIASTIC MAN THIS IS AND COME AWAY WITH A LOT OF KNOWLEDGE. ALAN TELLS ME THAT C. S. C HAS A SHOW COMING UP AT THE LEOFRIC NEXT MONTH WITH FOUR BOUTS I WILL GIVE YOU MORE DETAILS LATER WHEN I GET THEM. ( WHEN I WAS LOOKING THROUGH MY PHOTOS OF ALAN I THOUGHT I WOULD PUT THIS ONE UP WITH DEAN PITHIE IN DEAN WAS ALWAYS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE FIGHTERS WHO COULD EVER FORGET HIS FIGHT AGAINST ALEX MOON
