Three locals involved, three locals victorious! Brothers Kriss and Evan Montegriffo were making their professional debuts and they did not disappoint, while Tyrone Buttigieg “El bomber” now ranked as the 5th best boxer in Great Britain. We caught up with all three winners at Broadcasting House, battered and bruised from their fights.
