Boxer Bartlett marks first professional bout with a win

Ben Bartlett started off his professional boxing career with an impressive victory against Northern Irishman Alec Bazza.

The Dingwall fighter came out on top after four rounds at the Northern Sporting Club Homecoming show at Elgin Town Hall on Friday night.

The featherweight was in full control of the bout as he never looked in trouble of losing the contest.

He was delighted with how he performed in his first fight as a professional.

“I feel that I made a statement in the pro ranks as a 19-year-old,” he said.

“Now I am looking forward to the next fight and getting into the ring again.”
