Also on the bill was Boston youngster Harry Britton, who recorded a unanimius verdict against Zachg Gibbons, of Sedbergh ABC.
At the packed venue, Britton weathered an early onslaught from his opponent, quickly taking control of the contest.
It was clear at the end of the second round that Britton was ahead.
Given his instructions for the last round, all he had to do, was stay clear of his opponent’s long lead and claim the win.
