BURNLEY Bulldog Warren Stowe's efforts to secure a fight with Herol "Bomber" Graham have finally been KO'd.

The former British and European middleweight champion will instead meet American Terry Ford of Washington when he comes out of retirement at the Concord Sports Centre, Sheffield, on November 26.

Stowe's name was one of a number being considered by Graham and his backers.

But the 31-year-old was deemed too dangerous a proposition for Graham's first comeback fight.
