ADAWAY'S HUGE WIN
The Herald
|August 13, 2025
CITY BOXER'S VICTORY MAY HAVE BAGGED HIM A PROMOTER
PLYMOUTH fighter Connor Adaway said a stunning victory over Emmanuel Rodriguez in the US last weekend is the biggest of his career so far and may have bagged him a deal with a promoter.
Adaway won a convincing unanimous decision against the Puerto Rican in Atlantic City, New Jersey, despite being in the away corner at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.
Adaway landed some crunching shots on Rodriguez, who had previously lost only twice in a 17-fight career during which he has held the WBO Latino Bantamweight title.
The city super bantamweight said the manner of his victory so impressed promoters in New Jersey that he has been offered a multi-fight deal to return to the US.
Adaway told The Herald: "I've had big wins away from home in the past but to crack America is definitely a big deal, and on paper he's definitely my best win.

Older drivers tend to be the safest on the road
REGARDING recent newspaper reports about compulsory eye tests for the over-70s, as we have to renew our licences every three years anyway, I really cannot see that this will be a problem for most people of that age.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY
Although I am well aware that social media is largely an echo chamber that will feed back to you what you search for, there are no shortage of videos and articles about fashionable dressing for men, while vintage clothing is no longer merely bagged up and donated to charity shops but can yield high prices on re-sale sites such as eBay and Vinted.
