Plymouth Boxer Adaway impresses with victory over Baonok in Thailand

Adaway was back inside the ring after eight months, and fought on a show in Pattaya in Eastern Thailand, south of Bangkok.

Adaway has secured a deal with FCC promotions and made an impressive debut in the country by securing a stoppage against Nirun Baonok inside four rounds.

It was his eighth win from his nine paid bouts, with the one blip on his record being a defeat in the Southern Area featherweight title clash against Lewis Frimpong.

But Adaway is unblemished at bantamweight, which is considered his more natural fighting weight, and yet his record has actually impinged on his ability to secure fights in the UK.

Adaway said fighting in Thailand has provided him with an opportunity he would not have had in the UK.

“I’m buzzing,” he said. “To go over there and do that, I’m really happy.

“My big thing is that I want competitive fights and I want do to it often, and in England it’s not happening for me at the minute.

“I am too much of a risk for some people but I don’t bring enough money for others, so it’s hard.

“So I am making these opportunities for myself.”
