Bahrain glory for Cook

Isle of Man fighter Aaron Cook took revenge to clinch the Bahrain Open on Saturday.

After his first round defeat to GB’s Damon Samson by a point in last month’s Luxor Open, Cook was a comfortable 23-14 winner against the GB team fighter in the Bahrain final.

It followed his gold at last week’s Fujairah Open in the UAE and secures 20 valuable world ranking points at the end of a successful middle eastern tour.

He will next head to the Dutch Open as final preparation for defending his double European championship title in Azerbaijan in May.
