European Bantamweight Title
Billy Plimmer (Holder)(24-2-2)(14)(#3) UD12 Casper Leon (16-3-1)(4)(#10)
Plimmer (left) totally outclassed his Italian born adversary.
The Birmingham man was on top throughout with some at ringside arguing that Leon didn't win a round.
Plimmer scored two knockdowns during an aggressive display. The first was scored in the eighth round with a right cross, whilst the second came from an uppercut in the penultimate stanza.
Plimmer has already signed to meet Ulsterman Ike Weir at the NSC, The Englishman will put both his European and Commonwealth title on the line.
Leon stated that it was his intention to emigrate to the United States.
