Lee Haskins added the Commonwealth super-flyweight title to his British belt after beating Don Broadhurst in a scrappy points win in Newport last night.
The judges scored the contest 117-113, 116-113, 116-113 all in Haskins' favour as he took away Broadhurst's Commonwealth strap.
Two of Britain's Beijing Olympic medallists also had fights in Newport, with David Price and Tony Jeffries both first round winners against below-par opponents.
Giant heavyweight Price just took 33 seconds and one punch to floor a frightened Dmitrijs Basovs, and it was only marginally harder for Jeffries as he finished off Latvian Anrejs Tolstihs in two minutes 17 seconds.
Jamie Arthur warmed-up for his British featherweight title shot with an unconvincing points victory over Mickey Coveney. The 29-year-old won 59-56 on points in their six-round bout.
