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.

Ruiz fought here loads. Pretty sure he won in a few lesuire centres in the West Country.

Azumah nelson fought here albeit slightly larger venues.

Carlos de Leon.

John Molina beat flood havard.

Floyd

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.

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.

Slightly off from the topic title but Lennox Lewis fought at Hull City Hall, which is a small venue.
