‘The Wednesfield Bomber’ Steve Saville unfortunately failed in his attempt to gain a British light-welterweight title at Wolverhamton’s Civic Hall on Friday Night.

Saville lost the fight to Syrian-born Yorkshireman Youssef Al Hamadi 96-95 on points, read the full ringside report at The Stirrer.

Reigning Midland boxing champion Steve Saville aka ‘The Wednesfield Bomber’ has pledged to repay local businesses and organisations who helped him after his personal gym was damaged by a fire earlier this month.

Steve is hoping to bring home the English title at Wolverhampton Civic Hall on September 18th as a way of repaying those who have provided him with training facilities whilst his gym is rebuilt.

He said: “The response has been fantastic. The Village Hotel on Junction 10 (Walsall) gave me a free membership so I could do my fitness work there, while Wolverhampton Boxing Club literally handed me the keys so I could do my pad-work.”

“Now I will repay them with the English title, the situation has only made me hungrier.”

Steve’s previous title-winning fight against Baz Carey is up for the Midland Boxing Council’s Fight of the Year award next month – so if you’re a boxing fan make sure you get tickets for the upcoming fight at the Civic Hall on September 18th by contacting the box office on 0870 320 7000 or promoter Paul ‘PJ’ Rowson on 07976 283 157, it’s bound to be a fight to remember!
