MATHS MISS WANTS TO ADD A BRITISH TITLE

Sian aiming higher after defending Midlands crown

- 

IAN O'Toole, maths teacher by day, has calculated a major title fight must be next after successfully defending her Midlands featherweight belt in a blood-splattered 12 rounder.

The blood was spilt by her brave opponent Doina Costin in the main event on BCB Promotions’ major “Independence Day” show at the Hangar Events Venue, Wolverhampton, on Friday night.

The red stuff flowed from a gash over the challenger's left eye, opened in the fourth, and leaked from her nose.

Still she plugged forward, only to be met by spiteful, straight combinations from the Droitwich champ. Doina’s doggedness earned her three rounds on referee Chris Dean's 97-93 card. I gave the Northampton 30-year-old only the eighth and a share of the last session.

“I want the British (title),’ the 26-year-old champ, now unbeaten in seven, said. “The European and Commonwealth titles are being sat on - give me a chance and I’ll show what I can do.”
