Towering ex-Tottenham centre half Sebastien Bassong claimed a North London derby win in the boxing ring.
Bassong, who made 45 appearances for Spurs, came up against a former Premier League rival in Arsenal wing back Armand Traore.

Traore, who was a product of the Gunners' academy, was looking to secure North London Derby bragging rights in the 'A Night To Remember 3' charity boxing event.
The pair laced up their gloves in London for a good cause, in an event which was streamed live on the talkSPORT Boxing YouTube channel.

But it was Bassong who secured a rare win for the Lilywhite side of North London.
Spurs themselves have had a weak record against Arsenal, having won just 10 of the last 35 matches against their bitter rivals since 2010 in all competitions.
However, the 40-year-old flew out the traps and looked the far more competent boxer, with the pair having had limited training time.
He was landing regularly in the opening two rounds, and Traore was limited to just single shots from the ropes.
Traore was desperate at the start of the third round and was covering up as Bassong went in baying for blood and an early night.
The weakened fighter took two flush hooks through the guard and a body shot, before the referee pulled him away and gave him a standing count.

Having observed the former Arsenal star on his feet, he decided to wave off the contest with the wing back having suffered more than enough damage.
It was probably a good thing Traore who was spared given his lack of experience and skill level in the ring.
Bassong got his hand raised at the top of the event, and it was a claimed victory for the white side of North London.
Having had just one victory against Frank Lampard's Coventry City this Premier League season, they will hope their inspired form on the pitch and in the ring will continue.
Spurs will take on Arsenal in the first North London derby of the season on December 6 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
It was an action-packed bill that was commentated on expertly by talkSPORT Boxing's Spencer Oliver.
But the main event unfortunately fell through between former Newcastle star Nile Ranger and ex-Arsenal forward Jay Emmanuel-Thomas.
Ranger was forced to pull out from the clash just hours before with a medical issue.
Doctors checked he was medically clear to fight beforehand, but decided to pull him out after tests conducted showed he had high blood pressure.
Graham Stack explained on the broadcast: “If fighters don’t hit certain targets and they’re not fit to fight, we will take no gambles and no risks.
“Unfortunately, Nile Ranger’s blood pressure was too high. We checked him again an hour and a half later and it was still too high.
“We have to take their advice because we don’t want anyone getting hurt. We don’t want to put anyone at risk. I have got to look out for the fighter’s safety.”
