A PAIR of Blackbird Leys fighters were involved in close bouts across the region last weekend.

Brent Dalton took on a strong Jay Clarke at Bulmershe ABC’s dinner show.

Boxing well on the back foot, he continuously caught the home fighter with a sharp jab and won on a split decision.

Fellow Leys boxer Dan Robinson was in action at Andover ABC’s open show, losing on a unanimous points decision against Harry Trinder.
