And to try and make it a home from home, Tony is laying on transport for his faithful fans. A coach from Sunderland to the Midlands and back will cost £15.
“Because of injuries I haven’t fought since December, but now I want Frank Maloney to keep me busy,” said Jeffries.
“I would like to win an England title by the end of the year.”
