Hughes comes through Frampton warm up unscathed

With its second show of the season, Prospect Boxing once again delivered a sold out show at the Cleland Miners Club.

The first fight on the night saw Scots based Maltese Daniel Micallef take on Coltness' Chris Steel over six-twos. Starting the fight strongly and always coming forward, Micallef looked to make use of the fact the Steel was the notably taller fight. As the fight continued Micallef went on to land clearly and showed good command of the ring. At the end of round six, the referee lifted the Maltese fighter's hand after scoring it 60-54.

Making his second appearance in a pro ring, Motherwell's Iain Butcher looked to make quick work of Newport's Darren Pryce. Starting well, Pryce was out boxed for the rest of the fight and was also warned by ref Kenny Pringle in the second for low blows. Showing good technique mixed with a tight defence throughout the fight, Butcher went on to claim his second victory by 40-36.

The third and final fight of the night saw Kris Hughes move to 15-1 with a points victory over Michael Harvey in the super-bantamweight division. Making a strong start, Hughes seemed to build on his previous points victory over Youssef Al Hamidi, with blistering body shots and never seemed to let Harvey get into the fight. After four-threes, referee Pringle raised Hughes' hand after scoring it 40-36 to the Bellshill fighter.

Hughes now moves on to a Commonwealth title fight against Irishman Carl Frampton at the end of January.
