    Magee: Winning return

    Brian Magee enjoyed a winning start to life as a light-heavyweight with a points victory over Paul David.
    The 31-year-old got the better of his Sheffield opponent 58-56 at the Barnsley Metrodome in his first fight in six months.

    The Belfast-born boxer had not been in the ring since losing to British super-middleweight champion Carl Froch.

    Now at a new weight, Magee is targetting a title tilt in the near future after his six-round outing against David.

    "It was just the kind of fight I needed after six months out and him being a Brendan Ingle fighter I knew he was going to come to fight and try to win," he said.

    "I feel so much better at light-heavyweight and this was the start of a new chapter for me.

    "I am aiming for the Commonwealth title in January then beyond that to a world title.

    "I am not making excuses for the Froch fight but I did not do myself justice that night and the thought of retirement never crossed my mind for a moment."

    A sharp right from Magee forced his opponent to take an eight count in the fourth round.

    However, the former IBO super-middleweight champion did not have things all his own way as David proved a tricky customer.

    Magee finished the fight with a bloody nose after taking some punishment in the closing stages of the contest.
