\n Calne’s Connor Gray delivered one of the strongest wins of his career with a composed yet gritty display against Argentina’s Alan Boncompagni.\n<\/p>\n
\n He entered the bout off the back of a narrow English title defeat to Billy Pickles in March and a frustrating draw with Garth Noot in June.\n<\/p>\n
\n Across six pulsating rounds, Gray, known for his slick southpaw skills, was forced to dig deep, meeting the younger Boncompagni in fierce exchanges while maintaining the cleaner work throughout.\n<\/p>\n
\n After the final bell, Gray reflected on his performance and his renewed momentum, remarking simply: “A happy fighter is a dangerous fighter.”\n<\/p>\n
\n The night’s main event delivered its own drama as unbeaten Gloucester cruiserweight Jack Bannister overcame Peckham’s Ross McGuigan to claim the vacant Southern Area title.\n<\/p>\n
\n Despite suffering a broken left hand early in the contest, Bannister dug deep and repeatedly found success with his powerful right hand, exploiting openings in McGuigan’s low-set guard.\n<\/p>\n
\n After 10 hard-fought rounds, referee Lee Every awarded Bannister a 97-93 decision.\n<\/p>\n
