SAM Webb began another quest for an ABA title in the South-East London section of the ABA Champion-ships at Crystal Palace last Thursday.

Webb, from Chislehurst, had to fight twice because of the large number of entries in his welterweight division.

In his first fight he disposed of Fabrice Makilo, who received a standing count in the third round and was also docked points for holding. Webb's second bout was against Martin Welsh, and again he was victorious on points.

Next up for Webb, who is the reigning London champion, is the semi- finals, due to be held at York Hall in Bethnal Green on Friday when the action is due to get underway at 7pm.

If Webb wins, he will progress to the London area final, which will take place on Friday week.
