Ellesmere Port super-flyweight Paul Butler has made a successful start to his professional boxing career.
The 21-year-old Vauxhall Motors ABC star and former ABA champion gained a convincing points victory over Sheffield’s Anwar Alfaldi in a four-round bout in Liverpool on Saturday night.
Butler, who signed professional terms with Frank Warren in the summer, showed too much class for his journeyman opponent and he now looks to build on his successful amateur career in the professional ranks.
The bout was part of a big night of boxing at the Echo Arena which also saw Liverpool’s Paul Smith lose his British super-middleweight crown to Olympic gold medallist James DeGale.
