Peter McNeeley, who last year was beaten in 89 seconds by Mike Tyson, has pleaded guilty in a Boston Municipal Court to hitting a man in the face with a beer bottle at a night-club. McNeeley received a suspended six-month sentence and will be on probation for a year.

P J Gallagher, the London-based Mancunian, claimed the vacant British super-featherweight title after a ferocious fight with Glasgow's Davey McHale at the Crystal Palace National Sports Centre on Monday night. The referee counted him out with a second remaining of the 10th round.
