Boxer plans caravan celebration

Clinton Woods, the light-heavyweight boxing champion, plans to celebrate his latest victory with a caravan trip.

He defeated Julio Gonzalez and retained his International Boxing Federation (IBF) cruiserweight title last night and intends to take his family to Skegness.

He told the Daily Mirror: "I always like to go away in my caravan after fights and take it easy after all the months of hard work."

Yesterday’s fight finished with a standing ovation for both fighters.

The Sheffield-based Woods won on points and now hopes to meet a top American opponent.
