Storey secures points success
Young boxer Frankie Storey claimed a unanimous points victory at Southend ABC’s Open Show on Saturday.
The Cardinal Newman pupil and Luton Academy ABC boxer faced Islington ABC fighter Alfie Andrews, who was on a winning run of four stoppages from his last five bouts.
Underdog Storey was at a disadvantage in height, reach, weight and experience.
