It was Scottish title glory for Killearn boxer Liam Philip on Saturday as he claimed a tight points win over Alfie Poole in Glasgow.
The bout for the national welterweight belt always looked like being a tight one on paper against a talented Cumbrian opponent and it proved to be so, as Liam was taken the distance for the first time in his short professional career.
But it was the 36-year-old who came out on top on the scorecards 96-95 to secure the Scottish welterweight title in front of a crackling atmosphere filled with fans of both fighters.
