IMPRESSIVE Connor Law made it a perfect 10 last Friday night as he continued his unbeaten record in the professional boxing ranks.

The 24-year-old Glenrothes Boxing Club ace was in imperious form at Meadowbank as he saw off Cameroon-born Frenchman Francis Tchoffo to move another step closer to a title bout.

Middleweight fighter Law stepped into the ring on the undercard of 2014 Commonwealth Games light welterweight gold medallist Josh Taylor, who was defending his Commonwealth Super Lightweight belt against Warren Joubert, and produced another memorable performance.

Law's coach, Stevie McGuire, had challenged his man to put on a show against "tricky" Tchoffo and he succeeded with a controlled and assured display.

The fight was the second eight-round match of Law's career – his previous one had come against Spaniard Jose Manuel Lopez Clavero in November – was beamed live on Spike TV to add to the former Beath High pupil's growing exposure.

Tchoffo, who had 17 wins on his record along with 12 losses before his battle with the Law, had never been knocked out and McGuire said in the build-up that while he would be "no pushover", the Kelty man had to "beat boys like this if he wants to go further in his career".

Using his height advantage, Law boxed long from a southpaw stance and despite Tchoffo's best attempts to apply pressure, picked the Frenchman off with jabs and counter jabs to take the win on points by 80-73.

Law was unlucky not to stop his opponent but settled for what was a dominant win as he took every round bar one, which the judges declared even.

A delighted Law thanked his army of supporters who travelled to the capital to give their man their backing, and commented: "I won my fight to go 10-0 and I'm still undefeated – what a night!

"I'm out here trying to make something of myself and working towards getting somewhere one day, and I couldn't do it without the support I get. Thanks to all the good luck and well done messages, it's all accounted for, but most of all thanks to my coaches, sponsors, family and friends that came along to watch me. I'm forever grateful."

McGuire, who said ahead of the bout that they'd be seeking a Scottish, Celtic, British or Commonwealth title after "another two or three fights", added: "Connor put in another solid performance against one of his toughest opponents; it's another win under his belt and 10 fights undefeated. But he'll now go back to the gym to prepare for the next one."
