Other fights on the undercardCommonwealth Light-Heavyweight Champion Tony Bellew, fresh off the fracas at the Cleverly press conference last week. Bellew had been a late replacement to face the Welsh champion, but failed to make the check wait and had to pull out.

The Liverpool boxer will look to put the disappointment of that behind him, when he, gets back to plan ‘A’ and a mouth watering rematch with Derby’s Ovill McKenzie for the British Light-Heavyweight title. (first meeting – pictured above left)

also on the bill is emerging Light-Middleweight Joe Selkirk, unbeaten in six, and the popular Paul Butler of Ellesmere Port.

Former Amateur star Ronnie Heffron from Oldham, Paul Butler from Ellesmere Port, and Lincoln’s Commonwealth Games Gold Medallist Calum Johnson and Birmingham heavyweight John Loveday complete the card.
