Saville pulls out of Reid fight

Wednesfield's Steve "Bomber" Saville (pictured) has pulled out of this Friday's Lightweight Midland Area title defence at Wolverhampton Civic Hall. Saville was due to headline the Civic bill defending his title for the first time against Stoke's Gary Reid but has come down with food poisoning which has meant he has missed vital sparring sessions leading upto the fight.

The First Team promoted show will go ahead with Wolverhampton's first ever womens 'world' title fight headlining as local favourite Lyndsey Scragg takes on Uganda's Agnes Adonga for the vacant GBC Super-Featherweight crown. Former British title challenger Dean Harrison will also fight on the bill, in a six rounder against Ali Wyatt.
