Stourbridge's Midlands champion Sam Horton takes in his last fight at super middleweight admitting that his run with the title is all but over.

The 24-year-old is pencilled in to take on 36-year-old Sabie Montieth without the title on the line at Coventry's Hilton Hotel tomorrow, in a division where the banging bus driver has already taken the area belt and an International Masters crown after outpointing Jamie Ambler in late January.

The Masters win was his first response to a damaging second round knockout loss to Cello Renda in a British title eliminator last September, which remains his only outing at middleweight in a 15-fight pro career.
