Bridlington's James Precious earns win against Lewis Howells at Connexin Live

Bridlington boxer James Precious delighted his supporters with what he described as a ‘solid points win at super middleweight in my third professional bout’ over Warwickshire fighter Lewis Howells on a show at Hull’s Connexin Live themed as Battle of the Humber.

This follows his dramatic third round stoppage of experienced Manchester boxer Josh Cook on a show at Barnsley Metrodome in January.

“I’m satisfied with this performance. It was the first of my two six rounders to go the full distance. I knocked the opponent down in the first round, but he got back up.

"Perhaps that’s just as well since it’s shown up a few points I need to work on as I prepare for longer fights against stronger opponents. It was also the first time I’d weighed in the previous day.

"All these things make a difference and help a boxer develop. My ambition remains to compete for major titles. I’m so grateful to all those who attend each fight and whose support is unstinting as they share my ambition.”

Fans won’t have to wait long to see Precious in action again.

He’s currently scheduled to meet experienced Kent fighter Grant Dennis on a Hull show on May 30.
