Shock defeat for Bristol fighter Francis

Bristol-based cruiserweight Dean Francis suffered a surprise defeat in Sky Sports' latest Prizefighter competition.

Francis was the hot favourite for last night's eight-man event, but he was knocked out inside one round of his semi-final against Sheffield's John 'Buster' Keeton.

The Bristol fighter had already been down once in the bout when Keeton caught him with a cleaner blow and Francis was unable to beat the count.

Earlier, Francis stopped Neil Simpson in the third and final round of their quarter-final.

In the final, Ovill McKenzie, a light-heavyweight, beat Keeton on points.
