Boxing: Southpaw Keates wins on points to boost record
LEEK super-featherweight Andy Keates extended his winning record at Staffordshire University.
Keates posted a points win over Dan Naylor in a battle of the southpaws to make it six wins out of six – and the 21-year-old has a big fight pencilled in next.
Promoters Fight Factory plan to match him against Irish champion Mickey Coveney before the end of the year.
He was too good for Naylor in their fight over the six two-minute round distance and took the verdict 60-55.
