Sutherland thrilled with opening night success

After his polished TKO win over Bulgaria's Georgi Iliev, Darren Sutherland is looking forward to a short holiday before returning to training on January 10.

Sutherland is taking his parents, Tony and Linda, on a week's break to Tenerife to recharge his batteries ahead of his second pro outing in Manchester on March 6 on the undercard of the Jamie Moore v Michele Piccirillo European light middleweight title fight.
