LIGHTWEIGHT Brandon Bethell turned a boxing show into an Oasis gig at the Hangar, Wolverhampton, on Friday with his Liam Gallagher-inspired ring walk, writes PAUL WEBB.

On BCB’s show, the Wolverhampton 22-year-old didn’t let the theatrical entrance distract him.

Brandon didn’t wait for any feeling-out process - instead, he went straight to the body of his Honduran opponent, Jayro Fernando Duran, ripping in left and rights with a sustained attack that would have stopped most. 

The experienced Duran switched southpaw and started to tuck up as Bethell continued to push the pace in the middle rounds.

It was the Wolves season ticket holders first fight over the six-round distance and after the frenetic start, it was to be expected that he would start to slow.

Duran did land the occasional left hand when Bethell was a tad over eager, managing to nick a round on Peter McCormack’s score card as the fight went the distance, 59-55.

That’s Bethell’s fourth win on the spin, while Duran dipped to 15-29.
