IT WAS easier crawling through the jungle beating the locals at their own game than finding boxer Wole Adesmoye a second bout.

The Fulham fireman knows all about roughing it after topping the BBC programme Last Man Standing, in which he needed to brave all kinds of rituals on three different continents.

But the super-heavyweight has found over the last year that every time Dale Youth Club find him a challenger - the opponent takes one look at the massive boxer and turns tail.

As a result, getting Adesmoye (pictured) out of the novice stakes has been a Herculean task in itself.

Finally, Tersoo Sugden from the DC Academy Club in Cambridge agreed to take on Adesmoye last week and he provided the man mountain with a unanimous second win in front of former champions John Conteh and Michael Watson.

Dale's Daz Siddiqui also strutted his stuff at in front of boxing's illuminati at the Help for Heroes show in Cambridge - but the 54kg fighter was not so lucky.

Siddiqui lost to Nathan Dale of Norwich Boys on a majority, but there was a good win for the North Kensington club's Saghar Naquimbuliah in only his fifth fight at 54kg, when he got the better of Chris Power from the Willborough Club - also by virtue of a majority decision.
