The first bout of the night featured a late replacement in the form of South Korea's Benny Kang who stepped up to the mark after London favourite Mike "The Bedfordshire Bull" Botteley was forced to pull out with bronchitis.
As he entered the ring Kang looked to be giving away a significant weight margin to his opponent Isidro Gete the master level chessboxer from Burgos in northern Spain who weighed in at 68kg. As the fight progressed Gete's superior strength began to tell and his rapid, accurate chess-play meant Kang gained no respite in any part of the contest which finished in Round 4 with a TKO. |
