Harding wins second professional fight

Lynne Mowbray | Former Yamba boxer Troy Harding has taken out his second professional win in the Clarence Valley, at Grafton on Saturday night. The event which was held at the Clarence River Jockey Club saw Harding battled it out against experienced journeyman Stuart Stokes from Sydney, in the Cruiserweight division. The fight which was set over four rounds went the distance and Harding won the fight by a unanimous decision 40-35 on all judges’ score cards. Harding said that in his next fight he’ll be moving down a weight division and fighting on the undercard to Adam Stowe’s NSW title fight at Boxing Mania 4 at Tweed Seagulls, in November.
