Dartford boxer Sam Gregory has just failed in his bid to reach the last eight of the

Natonal ABA Bantanweight Championship.

Gregory took on West Ham's Lloyd Otto over four rounds in the London Regional semi-final at the York Hall, in Bethnal Green, last Thursday night.

Both boxers came out and fought at a brisk pace, but Otto gradually got the upperhand as the bout progressed. But Otto, who had a particlarly good first round, was given a unamimous decision by the judges.
