Local Heavyweight Nick Webb (13-1) returned to action at Bracknell Leisure Centre in Berkshire, England on Saturday with a second-round knockout of Welsh opponent Dorian Darch (12-8-1), just six days after his 31st birthday.
Webb was hurting Darch, 34 from Aberdare, from the opening bell with heavy shots to the head and finished him off in the second round with a left hook to the body.
The fight took place on a stacked Siesta Boxing event, entitled ‘Bracknell Boxing Carnival’, and was the first step of a planned rebuild process following his sole career defeat to Dave Allen (13-4-2) at the O2 Arena last August, a journey he hopes will eventually lead to a rematch with his only pro conqueror.
Webb aims to squeeze in another two ‘learning’ fights this year before stepping back up to title contention again.
