Saturday night saw Black Flash Promotions’ latest boxing event - Manchester Mayhem: The Takeover - take place at Middleton Arena. 

The event saw six local fighters in action across one night, with all six coming out on top in their bouts. 

27-year-old middleweight Niall Brown extended his unbeaten streak to 14 with an impressive fourth-round TKO over Patrik Fiala, while 21-year-old super welterweight George Killeen reached double figure wins with a dominant points victory over Jordan Grannum. 

Also on the card was 20-year-old super welterweight Jack Swallow, with the Glossop fighter making it three from three with a points win over Paul Cummings. 

21-year-old welterweight Josh Paladino also picked up a points victory on the night, beating Naeem Ali to extend his record to 4-0-0. 

Elsewhere, 26-year-old featherweight Mae Astbury started her professional career with a bang, doing so with a points win over Argentina’s Antonella Shirley Molina. 

Finally, light heavyweight Marvin Tomlinson was in action for the first time since February 2024, with the ‘Black Mamba’ picking up a statement second-round TKO over Italy’s Victor Edagha to extend his unbeaten run to two.
