Can remember when the excellent Orlando canizales defended his world titles against Billy hardy in the crowtree leisure centre Sunderland of all places. Must have been a strange experience for the Texan, any other examples ?

Brilliant thread idea! Will have a think.

Winky Wright fought a couple of Brits at small venues didn't he?

I cheated by looking it up, but Sergio Martinez fought Adrien Stone at the Whitchurch Sports Centre in Bristol between the two Richard Williams fights.

Marcos villasana and Stevie Cruz both fought hoko at the Mayfield leisure centre in belfast

Tapia fought at the York hall too. So have quite a few international names. Not sure what it is really. It used to be a swimming pool didn't it? Been loads. Not sure what it is when no boxing on. Community centre or something.

I thought kalamabay fought at the Doncaster dome but it was Wembley arena. He did fight pyatt at a tiny venue though.

Acelino Freitas fought Peter Buckley at Everton Park Sports Centre

I was grappling around for his name in the recesses of my mind, he fought Barry Jones at the Doncaster Dome. Probably the smallest venue he's fought in during his title reign.

Jones knocked him down, too. He looked more stunned than Freitas when it happened.
