Bolton bill sees Abrol and Varey appearing Sharp
Blackpool Gazette
|June 19, 2025
Blackpool boxers Thomas Varey and Jake Abrol are both confident that wins on their manager Steve Wood's Bolton show have boosted their careers, writes JAMES BOVINGTON.
Varey's stoppage of Argentinian Ezequiel Gregores was described by pundits as 'beautiful and oozing class as he grows with every performance.'
Victory means that Varey, who only turned 20 in April, is now undefeated in nine professional bouts.
He said: "I was delighted to get the stoppage near the end of the second round of six in our welterweight bout, having already knocked him down in the first.
"I'd been working hard in the gym on power punches. It paid off as they came in bunches."
