Girls' boxing match axed

A BOXING match between two 13-year-old girls was understood last night to have been called off. The bout was due to take place tonight at Valentino's nightclub in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffs.

Amateur Boxing Association spokesman David Prior said: "At this moment I understand the bout is off. I cannot confirm the reasons for this at this stage."

This is the second time the match - between Andrea Prime from Leicester and Emma Brammer from Stoke - has been postponed amid adverse publicity.
