JAMES Hearn was crowned Home Counties Senior Champion after out-punching Luton fighter Ikeagwa on Saturday night.

The 19-year-old Marlow fighter took a computer score of 27-22 to take the victory.

He will now now go on to fight against the East Counties champion at Great Yarmouth tomorrow.

Earlier Hearn, fighting in the 81kg category had beaten Haileybury boxer Ifekoya over four rounds.

Meanwhile, Marlow ex-boxer 22-year-old Chris McDonagh now a professional with Jim Evans Stable at Maidenhead had his third pro fight at Slough Montem Leisure Centre where he beat Bax Carey of Coventry over six two-minute rounds.

McDonagh was drawn in to a scrappy fight by the shorter and stocky Carey, but McDonagh adapted well to win the six-round fight 59-57on points decision.
