We are aware that there have been problems with the site recently, and that a number of emails sent to us have been returned undelivered. This was due to technical problems with our webhost, but these should now be resolved. Happily, we are now able to update the site, and the new pages and pics will be uploaded over the next few days.

Thank you for your patience!

Callum 'Thug' Thompson was on the undercard of a world title show in South Shields on Saturday night. He was fighting against a very tough local lad - Liam "Del Boy" Trotter - with 9 wins out of 9 fights. The first round saw Callum having a slow start with Trotter taking the round after a talking-to from coach Pete Cook. The 2nd round had Thug show he can give and take, and hurting his opponent several times.

3rd round Callum took it to Liam and with a crushing front kick to the face the Del Boy went down for an eight count. The fight was restarted but then the Thug hit with another front kick and finished with the superman punch, leaving Trotter slumped over the ropes and winning Callum his 6th fight, and 2nd in succession by way of knock out.

Well done, Callum!
