THERE was joy for two Wirral boxers at an Everton Park Sports Centre show. Professional boxer Kenny 'The Assassin' Rainford, of Wallasey, outpointed Robert Peel to win the light heavyweight contest. Kenny was cheered on by heavyweight legend Ernie Shavers.
Also on the same bill was Birkenhead's light welterweight star Jamie McKeever. Jamie, aged 18, who is signed up to Barry Hearn's Matchroom professional team, won his third professional fight when he outpointed Brian Coleman. Jamie's next fight will be at the start of August.
