BLACKBIRD Leys fighter Ajay Desmond avenged a previous loss when he beat the host club’s Reuban Smith at Pinewood ABC’s show in Slough.

Desmond picked up the trophy for the best visiting boxer after constantly beating Smith to the punch in the final bout of the night.

In two skills bouts, where there is no verdict, Blackbird Leys’ Finley Haynes and Ivor Price put up good displays against their Pinewood opponents.

Blackbird Leys senior Zane Hussain won a split decision over Rory Clarke, of Oxford University, in the annual Town v Gown match.
