Just days after claiming a fifth straight victory Adam Dingsdale was back in the gym preparing for another conquest.

Dingsdale made light work of Reading-based hardman Ibrar Riyaz on Saturday night to claim a 40-37 points victory on his debut in Kent.

The 24-year-old from Hoo was fighting at Glow, Bluewater and more than 200 fans followed him up the M2 to cheer him on.

He said: "It was quality to be backed by so many fans. I remember when I was in the amateurs it would just be my mum or dad. It does add a bit of extra pressure but I enjoy that and it was just brilliant to be boxing in Kent. Hopefully, there are more regular fights here now."

Dingsdale was back at work this week, doing his day job as a painter, as well as getting back in the gym.

"It was just nice and light stuff this week," he said. "I’ll then step it up and do a bit of sparring and hit it hard for the December show."

Dingsdale fights again at the Brentwood Centre, Essex on December 8.
