    Hi Graham,
    Sorry you missed it mate, you missed some great fights. Never mind I am sure you will get your title back in April.

    Not sure of the date for the next BE yet, but I was looking at around June time, will sort out the dates over the next couple of weeks and let you know.

    Best regards

    Pat
