00:00okay lads when i say stop you stop boxing when i say break take a step back keep your hands up
00:06protect yourself all times good luck to you both good luck so it will be second time lucky for one
00:12of these two tonight it's a second tilt of the lonsdale belt for both of them with the vacant
00:16commonwealth title on the line as well bork was beaten by mark leach here two years ago lane lost
00:22to brad foster in 2019 bork's got the better record lane might be hitting his peak after 13 years
00:29as a professional whichever way you look at it it's a huge opportunity for both of them richard
00:35yes it is and straight away looking at tactics on that front foot ashley lane wants to close
00:40that gap down but he's got to watch it he really has bork is a deceiving puncher he can hit with
00:46his left hand but also he's got a very powerful right hook but ashley lane on that front foot
00:52taking the contest to chris bork just got to watch it as he's going forward
00:56white shorts two with gold for ashley lane chris bork the favorite the black trunks with the gold
01:05tassels clash of styles and ashley lane started here on the front foot trying to take the fight
01:11to bork lane's been a professional seven years longer than his opponent tonight he's lost 10
01:17times but comes into this one with three wins in a row including a surprise win against the
01:22undefeated jordan perkis in his last fight bork's only lost once he's taller than lane
01:28and he's fighting as a genuine bantamweight for the first time tonight his british title
01:33challenge against leach was at super bantam he's the man with the crowd tonight is the bork he's
01:39a millwall fan he's from stretton and i think he's got about 180 in here cheering him on yeah
01:44this is left hand that's doing the damage here for bork because ashley lane is coming forward
01:48walking forward trying to close that gap down you can see what he's trying to do he's trying
01:52to get up close and land his own left hook there he was there but he's got to watch out for the
01:56left uppercut from bork bork just taking that back step he's creating a bit of space and then
02:02he's punching into that space with that uppercut and that left down there it was again left up to
02:06the left uppercut to the body so lane has got to move his head his feet have got to be a little
02:11bit quicker he's a little bit too slow as he's coming forward but i can understand the tactics
02:16what he's doing really good atmosphere inside york hall they've been waiting for this one tonight
02:24wonderful arena for a fight like this brent warren just said this is what this arena is built for
02:29british title fights like this one
02:35not bad there from ashley lane gotta move more to his left though fletch
02:38the problem that ashley lane's got as he's coming forward his feet is coming a little bit too square
02:43and that's allowing bork to land that uppercut and that left down especially when he takes a
02:48back step or he brings him onto the shot so ashley lane fast and busy gotta move more to his left
02:55away from that big left down all the aggression the coming forward action from ashley lane that
03:00he's counter punching really well here in the first round bork and picking him up as he comes
03:05in and there's already damage to ashley lane's face he's cut already yeah cut above the right
03:10thigh just a slight cut but yeah it's better boxing from bork on that back foot taking his
03:18shots like i said lane's feet have got to be quicker it's going to be more sustained
03:22tasha fletch final few seconds of the first round has seen ashley lane cut
03:27and chris bork operate very well moving backwards as a counter puncher
03:40so
03:46get the original recipe deal for just 4.49 do the deal until the 28th of april only a kfc
04:00so that's inside the ashley lane corner liz norris is handling the cuts in there tonight
04:14she's got work to do already it's just been signaled to the judges by lievry it was caused
04:19by a punch last lane here on the on the front foot missing the target we think that they
04:25may have come there but the referee's saying it was a punch well here just misses and just falls
04:30in and the heads do clash there yeah it has been signaled though to the judges that it was caused
04:35by a punch so that's the way that it's going to be scored now that what kind of effect is that
04:40early damage going to have on ashley lane he's going to come forward it's the only way he knows
04:44bork at the moment dealing with it well yes he is he's dealing with the pressure this is better
04:48from lane got to let his hands go as his coach was saying in that corner but at the moment i
04:54think bork is handling the pace that's why the pace has got to be really quick from lane if he
04:59slows it down it will suit bork better lane did say in the build-up that he intends to start fast
05:05tonight he wants to be in bork's face and that's exactly where he is the flip side is that bork's
05:11grown into the three fights that he's had since the leech defeat so that's a little fascinating
05:16side to all of this and lane did suggest yesterday that bork might be tight at the weight and if he
05:21could take him into the second half he feels there might be an advantage but this has started exactly
05:27the way we thought it might yeah it's actually just making fundamental mistakes lane as he's
05:33coming forward his feet keep coming square fledge and that's when he's going to walk onto that left
05:38and there's the left uppercut there that's missed the target so lane you've got to watch what he's
05:43doing a little bit more head movement and like his coach said move more to the left blood flowing
05:49from the cut already halfway through the second round scheduled for 12 the vacant british and
05:54commonwealth bouncing weight belts on the line
06:13oh good shots there from bork lane just walked onto them didn't he those feet just slowed slightly
06:19but it's bork adjusting the feet going backwards and then bringing him onto the
06:23shots good backs him from bork it's been a bit predictable so far hasn't he lane coming in
06:28straight chris bork able to pick him off and he'll be really happy by the way this fight started
06:34chris bork who was a big favorite coming in ashley lane is 117 in his 29 fights he's been beaten 10
06:43times so he shows that if you persevere and keep going you can get the opportunity to fight for
06:49but the early signs are that he's got his work cut out here yes he has indeed got to sustain that
06:55pressure and again ring position is crucial for ashley lane he's got to try and get bork onto the
07:00ropes but bork boxing well on the back foot he's handling the pressure but it's action pack this
07:09one fletch final few seconds of the second round he'll get to work on that cut between rounds again
07:18in the ashley lane corner everything the board lands is cheered for the rafters inside york hall
07:24he's got the supporters packed in here tonight very atmospheric historic venue and there's the bell

08:03go twos and threes he's getting tired yeah welcome back to your corner
08:10dean lewis talking to ashley in the corner kieran farrell was talking at the end of the first now
08:16dean lewis just stepping in to get his instructions in the second and lis norris
08:21is handling the cut in there so there is lee huskins by the way that trained him for the fight
08:26he's not here tonight doesn't have a trainer's license so it's a little mixed bag in there lots
08:30of information being given to ashley lane yeah dean lewis there i think was it was very good with
08:34his instructions he's telling his boxer to double that jab up and quicken the feet
08:38and just get his head to the side because he feels he's coming in on straight line in straight lines
08:43but to close that gap down that double jab right hand isn't a bad combination at all let's see if
08:48he can do it that's his problem his feet just keep coming to square see square on now although
08:55he's got a little bulk on the ropes there but when those feet come square place that's when
08:59you walk onto a shot you're wide open one thing we do know though from ashley lane is he's going
09:05to give absolutely everything in there he's not going to take a backward step he's going to empty
09:09the tank if he wins tonight he fulfills a lifelong ambition the same will be said of chris bork who
09:16was devastated the night he lost to mark leach he's picked himself up and come again and he's
09:21had the better of the opening couple of rounds here yeah this is not bad there from ashley lane
09:26switching the attack starting off downstairs then switching to the head so that wasn't too
09:31bad at all from ashley that's what that's what's needed from him sustained pressure
09:36punches in bunches that's what he needs
09:44good left hand there from bork the last time lane four to south for he lost that was back in 2020
09:51bork providing a big test in that regard tonight the title they're fighting for tonight by the way
09:56available because it was vacated by shawn mcgoldrick halfway through the third here
10:00of an action pack fight great shot right onto the chin of ashley lane from chris bork
10:05shortly shot but certainly found the target yeah good shot the eye catchy shot there was from bork
10:11but the volume of punches definitely coming from ashley lane he's having a
10:16a bet around this round but just gets caught with the eye catcher there from bork
10:23i think that's been the story so far which he hasn't the volume is coming from lane but the
10:27accurate stuff the sharper stuff the damaging stuff is coming from bork to this point yeah
10:31quality of punch as well as definitely from bork to see the bit snapping his shots and his work
10:38but this is better this is what's needed from he's taking a lot of risk but nevertheless
10:43yes good sustained pressure there from ashley lane that's good
11:00final 40 seconds of round number three
11:04bork up on his toes catching lane as he came in that's a decent right hand though
11:08by lane with bork putting the ropes against his back he caught him square near
11:13the tree a good shot and then he switched downstairs didn't he over the foot the body
11:17shots this is a better round for ashley lane i think the volume has just paid dividends here
11:24right

11:47with interest-free credit and no deposit now available from just 499
11:54so
12:12martin bowers in the corner they're not too happy with the way that round went i agree with him
12:16he got sucked into a bit of a toe-to-toe battle there that was a good shot there from lane
12:21he wants bork to box more at distance and i don't agree with that
12:26there is actually laid all five feet four of him 33 years old his 30th fight having
12:31turned over in 2011 flying the flag tonight for northampton a week after ethan james
12:37from the town lost his unbeaten record he's the sixth man from northampton
12:41to challenge for the british title at this weight and the first since alan foster in 2003
12:48so ashley's having a little bit more success here because he's coming forward
12:54and i think chris bought because he occasionally just drifts back onto the ropes and that's
12:58allowing ashley lane then to put on a little bit more pressure that's better boxing though on the
13:02back foot from bork so it's interesting over 29 pledge because ashley lane he's getting through
13:10but as we've said that quality work is coming from board martin bowers was quite clear there's
13:15no need to have a fight with him just thoughts but it's hard to keep him off because he just
13:19comes the roaring in doesn't he lane and doesn't give you a second to think
13:26i think the gum shield actually come out there
13:31but this is when your movement the defending box has got to be circular you've got to go around
13:36little sides there you can't afford to back up onto the ropes that's what lane wants once you
13:41get back on the ropes your feet come square and your movement's restricted see lane again
13:46having better success because bork is basically backed up on those roads
13:59i think everybody expected this to be a good fight that's
14:02certainly the way that it started fourth round halfway through
14:07come off it
14:10and if either of them have skipped anything by way of conditioning they'll get found out in there
14:15tonight the ring is the idea so the likely tip to test
14:21we have to train very hard for this one peak condition
14:28the board corner we're just giving him instructions there to throw the uppercut
14:31a little bit more i think they feel that lane's susceptible to that when he comes in
14:35again though he's being dragged into it here this is again this is better for ashley lane
14:40it's scrappy it's messy but bork better shots there from him but he's just being dragged in
14:45and his coach will be a little bit disappointed again got to maintain that gap in this ball
14:51but it's difficult actually late at the moment making chris bork fight his fight 30 seconds to
14:56go in the fourth
15:15keeps coming forward doesn't he
15:26who complained miss you when you think what he's been through and what he's had to endure
15:30and the perseverance and determination he's had to show to be here tonight
15:35why would you do anything else for giving everything you've got
15:40so

16:09welcome back to york hall but while you were away both corners were getting extremely heated i mean
16:18the riot act has pretty much been wrecked of both of them in there yes the ball in balance again
16:23certainly not happy is he with bork he feels that he's really allowed actually laying back
16:28into this and i agree with him i think this is a close fight now bork's 29 four years younger
16:34than laney's hoping to be the fifth british champion to come out of the peacock gym
16:38richie went in over mckenzie daniel dubois and denzel bendy have gone before him he's a millwall
16:43fan as well richie so just be careful about giving him too much support tonight they play
16:47your beloved backers on good friday yeah they do indeed
16:54and he's handing off not too bad there for bork but again actually lane he looks like he's got
17:00the confidence the momentum is with ashley lane he's had success that's spurred him on he's closing
17:05that gap down dragging chris borg into a toe-to-toe battle which is suiting his style
17:23bork on the move up on his toes trying to pop out that southpaw jab
17:30lane continues to stand right in front of him i mean he could
17:33stick a newspaper down on the canvas and make them stand on it they wouldn't really
17:37take a step off it would at the moment shots again from ashley lane
17:45just keeps coming forward accuracy is just it's just eluded him
17:51at this stage earlier on he was catching him catching ashley lane with those left hands but
17:56now again being dragged in and it's scrappy but that you know he's suited lane and you can see
18:02the confidence growing in him i think borg has got a few got a pull a few quality shots out here
18:09fascinating to know the way the judges are seeing it but they're scoring it on the accuracy of bork
18:13on the aggression and volume of ashley lane mark bates lee every and kieran mccann
18:23terry o'connor the men that matter
18:26yes
18:36just missing with that long off the cut but he continues to throw a high volume of shots and
18:41bork at the moment he's finding it so hard to keep him off
18:55on the inside it's ugly but that suits him doesn't it and again
19:02he's been a little bit more successful than chris bork on the inside
19:09well it's been five rounds typical of the venue
19:12british title fights in this building to sit down that little extra
19:16come on let's go
19:24i mean despite the constant message from martin bowers to fight a different fight i'm not sure
19:30whether bork's able to do so that's a great point
19:47when you back him up i need you to sit down a little bit like we've been working in the gym
19:53and put them shots right through yeah i don't want you just throwing little shots
19:58get the feet in sit down and let them go properly twos and threes not fours five
20:04bang bang bang let him go sit down on your shots if you listen to what we're saying
20:26the messages in there are a lot more positive than we're sitting in the chris bork corner
20:31i think the box are actually laying in the corner you can see the confidence
20:35that they've got he's turned it around for me yeah that's the way that richie's got it first
20:40two rounds for chris bork he's then given three in a row for ashley lane so the pressure and the
20:45volume and the constant desire to come forward paying dividends on richie's card at the moment
20:51four lane i mean just going back to what we're saying at the end of the previous round i know
20:54what they want bork to do but he's not able to do it right now just can't keep him off can he
21:01it's going to be fast hands fast feet move circular movement a lot of sidesteps and go
21:07around the opponent try and stay in the center of the ring avoid the outside of the ring and
21:11the ropes at all costs you see that's why he's got to do better move around and then stay in that
21:16center he's being pushed back to the ropes then it looks so much more impressive then from that
21:22the boxer going forward and if your feet come square on them ropes you just invite the pressure
21:28again trying to move in doing so he just gets dragged back into this toe-to-toe slugfest by
21:36ashley lane dean lewis was saying between rounds don't worry about four and five shots just throw
21:41two and three but make sure you dig your toes in the canvas and throw heavy shots one thing he isn't
21:47though richie is anybody with stoppage power only two stoppage victories for ashley lane so he does
21:56tend to have to go long in fights but of course you can break people down like that he's throwing
22:01a ton of punches in there tonight yeah very experienced and uh set out with stall right
22:07from the opening belt oh that's a good shot there from ashley lane right on cue balk under pressure
22:13and lane is going to continue to throw with the legs are wobbling
22:17and liever is close by and these are worrying times for balk who's on unsteady legs
22:22the pressure of ashley lane is breaking him down he's emptying the tank here lane
22:27trying to get the stoppage and eventually balk lands on the canvas but he was pushed down and
22:33he is going to get a precious few seconds to get a reprieve but liever he's had a long look into
22:38his eyes and here comes lane again letting the punches go there's no respite no escape ashley
22:45lane fighting the fight of his life in there trying to win the british title and he's got it
22:50ashley lane wins the british bantamweight title he picks up the commonwealth title in the process
22:58and a lifelong dream becomes reality in york hall he was brilliant in there he gave absolutely
23:05everything and in the end he simply brought the spirit and brought the will of chris balk
23:11and he will take the precious longsdale belt back to northampton tonight what a performance
23:18that is from ashley lane that one shot that he caught chris balk but then he just stumped he
23:23slumped back onto the ropes slightly bore and ashley lane then seized the opportunity he seen
23:30the the openings there and just carried on with the pressure sustaining the pressure and he would
23:35not be denied chris balk did well to actually stay on his feet i thought when he went to the
23:40when he went to the canvas he was trying to the canvas but that gave him a bit of a breather
23:44gave him a few vile seconds but ashley lane wouldn't be denied flex he just kept going
23:49which he started boxing after being bullied at school he had a hard upbringing lots of challenges
23:54to overcome he started with john bailey at the gym in northampton and they're still together
24:00and he's here tonight and they will take the longsdale belt home together he's never given up
24:07he never takes a backward step and he's a real lesson of how you can turn your life around
24:12through determination and perseverance and this just epitomizes his performance tonight yeah
24:18incredible that first right hand and then balking onto the ropes and ashley lane knew and boxers
24:23know when they've actually connected with a good shot and he just kept going three four five six
24:28punch combinations going in he just sustained the pressure then he actually throws him to the
24:32canvas here that gave him a little bit of a respite but ashley lane just kept it going
24:37another big shot coming up then it is there that just went one just missed but just kept to go left
24:43up and then he just keeps going with the right hand the referee's having a look he's seen enough
24:47what a performance from ashley lane sees that opportunity yeah that was good stuff for him
24:52he's turned the contest totally around and he's british champion well it's been a night where
25:00every fight has ended inside the distance but none of them mean as much as that means
25:07to ashley lane he's the british and commonwealth bantamweight titles it
25:12was a great fight while it lasted the official result from Devshani
25:18ladies and gentlemen let's get a round of applause for both
25:22brilliant fighters who gave it their all here tonight
25:29at the time of two minutes nine seconds in the sixth round
25:33your referee calls a halt to this contest therefore your winner
25:39and the new british and commonwealth bantamweight champion ashley
25:52well i'm not sure whether he can quite believe it it will eventually sink in
25:56but at 33 after 10 defeats ashley lane is
