A SELL-OUT crowd saw world champion Iman Barlow live up to her billing as the headline act at the second Lock-In Guernsey show at Beau Sejour.

Titled 'More Blood, Sweat and Beers', the show once again contained a mixture of white collar boxing, K1 kickboxing, MMA and Muay Thai bouts, with the latter the discipline for Barlow's contest against Jersey woman Hayley Battrick.

Although multiple women's British, European and World title holder Barlow came out on top on points after five rounds, event organiser Shane Rosamund believes that Battrick made it a thrilling spectacle.

'Originally, we wanted to get another multiple title holder over from the Ukraine to fight Iman, but issues with visas meant that didn't happen,' he said.

'Hayley stepped in, having only had three previous fights, so to battle the way she did and last the full five rounds is a great achievement for her.'
