PHILL Day made a triumphant return to the ring following a seven-year absence, as he stopped Paddy Teehan inside two rounds in the main event at Neilson Promotions’ White Collar Fight Night.

The veteran of 19 professional fights, along with a further 60 contests as an amateur in Walcot colours, showed no sign of rustiness in the contest at Liquid nightclub.

Landing single shots to head and body, Day kept his southpaw rival on the back foot from the bell and coasted through the opening round of this cruiserweight clash.

Shortly into the second session, the 35-year-old Swindonian landed an awesome left under the rib cage and Teehan fell to his knees.

The towel was swiftly flung in as the corner retired their man and Day’s ideal comeback was confirmed.

Hurvin Morgan also rolled back the years almost 20 years after his last pro outing, when he tackled former British and European kickboxing champion Simon Belletti in the bout of the night.

Both possessed versatility in their punching and were stylish in their delivery, but it was Morgan’s edge on accuracy that swung the verdict in his direction.

Kev Dawson claimed the best boxer award after outpointing Ian Cleaver on his ring debut.

He had to come from behind in the heavyweight clash but his greater precision in the final two sessions was enough to clinch the decision.

Dan Blackwell got the nod over Dan Phelps after an absorbing light middleweight clash during which there was little to separate the pair. Former Penhill amateur Darren Lee proved too powerful for Lewis Irons in their welterweight encounter. An unanswered four-punch combination from the Swindonian made his rival wobble, with the towel arriving before referee Ricky Porter could start the count.

Sam Lee also saw his arm raised in triumph after a better jab proved decisive against Deon Jarvis in their middleweight bout.

Paul Payne’s extra height and reach proved decisive in the final half of his fight against Jamie Horn, as he got the nod in the super middleweight clash.

Two left hands from Waldemar Gawin upended Dan Hart in the opening round of their light heavyweight meeting, and the same weapon imposed another count in the final round as the Pole romped to victory.

Cruiserweight Luke Boswell rallied strongly in the second half of his encounter to get the decision over Terry Quelch.

Light heavyweights Dave Levett and southpaw rival Muri Balogun, along with super middleweights James Fisher and Richie Hall, both drew on points.

Denis Jones and Luke Martin waded into to each other from the start, but the battle ended prematurely when Jones was forced to retire.
