Theophane

Former British light-welterweight champion Ashley Theophane got back to winning ways on Friday night.

The 31-year-old from Kilburn boxed coolly on way to a unanimous 80-72 verdict over veteran American southpaw Ronnie Warrior Jnr in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The win puts Theophane, now 32 - 5 - 1 (9 KOs), back in the title picture.

He will now fly to Scotland to help WBO lightweight champion Ricky Burns with sparring for his battle of Britain clash with Kevin Mitchell.
