Lancaster light heavyweight Troy Gallagher scored a comfortable points win in his third professional fight.

Gallagher won every round of his fight with Robbie Chapman in Bolton over the weekend.

Troy, who weighed in at 12st 6lbs 6oz, controlled the action from start to finish in a mature performance against the seasoned journeyman from Camden.

The tricky Chapman, having his 54th fight, was in survival mode pretty much from the off, as Gallagher stalked his man and was much the busier.

Troy, who trains at Coastal Boxing Club in Morecambe, picked his shots well in the first round and landed clean right hands, then in round two displayed punch variety, scoring with a right to the body and showing fast hands.

In Round 3, Troy landed a strong double jab and another eye-catching right to the body, as the 'Camden Caretaker' used all his experience to present a difficult target.

Chapman tried to come out of his shell in the final round but it was too late, as Gallagher again controlled the distance with the jab and stepped off to land a clever left hook.

At the final bell, the referee scored the bout 40-36 to Gallagher.
