Jason Russell's Serbian journey was ended by a doctor's stoppage.

Highland Boxing Academy’s Jason Russell was unlucky to miss out on another final in Serbia during the Golden Glove of Vojvodina on Saturday.

The youngster had been undefeated for over four years, winning five titles including becoming the first Inverness boxer to become British champion.
