A former boxer beat up her ex-boyfriend in a busy pub after he was caught with another woman. Anna Hambleton, who used to compete in White Collar Boxing, wrestled him to the ground while friend Louise Brown threw punches to the back of his head.
The assault took place on March 11 in front of shocked regulars at the Golden Hind Pub in Offerton, Stockport. The man was also poked in the face and kicked in the back by Hambleton, 35, and Brown, 53. Former fighter Hambleton had been neighbours with the man but they had been in a bitter feud since their break up, Tameside Magistrates' Court heard.
The women claimed in the weeks leading up to their attack the man had thrown paint stripper and eggs on Hambleton's car and had also smashed the windows of her house. She had been drinking heavily with Brown in the lead up to what amounted to a revenge attack, the court heard.
