Bluewater's Glow venue

A person was arrested after a fight broke out at a boxing bout in Bluewater.

Police were called to entertainments venue Glow in the Greenhithe shopping complex, and fans were barred from leaving the venue.

The event, screened live on Channel 5, featured James DeGale and Frenchman Hadillah Mohoumada.

DeGale retained his European Super Middleweight title with a points victory.

It was the first time the shopping centre had hosted a sporting event and thousands took to the venue to see the fight.

Police were called at around 10pm amid reports of a disturbance, and one person was arrested on a public order offence.

It is believed trouble broke out among fans during one of the several bouts on Saturday night.

A group of about 30 to 40 men, thought to be travellers, went outside where the fighting continued.

A Bluewater spokesman said: "The police attended the minor incident, which did not mar an otherwise successful evening."
