BOXING
WARWICK light-heavy weight professional boxer Shane Parry had an outstanding victory at The Mansfield Tavern on Saturday night.
Matched against rough tough Mark Gadaletta, a thirty fight veteran of the ring, Shane displayed outstanding ring general-ship to outmanoeuvre and frustrate his big punching opponent.
At the final bell, Shane was crowned the winner by unanimous decision, the judges having Shane comfortably winning every round. Shane, who trains at the newly opened Panthers Boxing Academy at 8 King Street, Warwick, hopes to be matched again in September.
Trained by father and son combination Roy and Rodd Parry, Shane also shares the gymnasium with two of his cousins who each hold a Global junior title.
Roy, an ex-professional champion, and Rodd, an ex-amateur champion, have years of experience between them, both as boxers and as tutors of the gentle art.
