Denzel Bentley regained his British middleweight title with a split points decision over Linus Udofia in South London last night.

Denzel Bentley bids to become a two-time British middleweight champion when he faces Linus Udofia in Greenwich tomorrow night.

The Greenwich heavyweight’s bout in the States will be shown live on BT Sport.

South London gym Churchill’s are celebrating a new national champion after schoolteacher Demi Carter won the England Boxing National Amateur Championships at the weekend.

The 34-year-old shunned the spotlight for nearly all of the lead-up to last weekend’s showdown in front of 94,000 fight fans at Wembley Stadium.

But Whyte claims that Fury pushed him down and that was the telling factor in terms of damage.

The Brixton heavyweight struggled to make any dent in the WBC world champion before a big right uppercut dropped him.

Brixton’s Whyte was stopped with a second remaining in the sixth round in north London.

The challenger, from Brixton, had started to look heavily fatigued after the first few rounds as the champion’s superior quality was clear for all to see.

Scotney is 4-0 in the paid ranks and was pushed hard by Jorgelina Guanini on her way to winning the WBA Intercontinental super-bantamweight title at Alexandra Palace in February.

WBC world champion Fury came in at 18st 8lb. Brixton’s Whyte, who it is often felt performs best at around 17-and-a-half stone, was 18st 1lb.
