AN amateur boxer who attacked a doorman for making a false allegation against him has been jailed for 21 months.
Liverpool crown court heard well-known boxer Edward Sarsfield was "provoked" into assaulting Dean Barry.
Three weeks earlier Mr Barry had accused dad-of-two Sarsfield of a serious but unfounded offence. When Sarsfield then bumped into Mr Barry, working at the Oxton Bar and Terrace, Oxton, he flew into a rage.
He began shouting and lunged towards him with a four inch blade, causing a cut to his chest.
Sarsfield, of Kirkdale, admitted unlawful wounding, possession of a knife and affray on October 25, last year.
