Yaeh mate he's a decent fighter. Not really boxed a lot of great guys but as they say you can only beat who is in front of you. Think it was Lee Purdy I last saw him box. Will be worth watching.

Manchester's unbeaten Denton Vassell defends his Commonwealth welterweight title against Namibia's unbeaten Bethuel Uushona in an excellent match at Wigan this weekend (March 26).
The stocky, aggressive, body punching Vassell, 16-0 (9), won the title with a unanimous if hard-earned decision over Colchester's Lee Purdy in Wigan last year, outlasting the useful Purdy after a slow start, and Uushona looks another lively opponent, having outscored the previously unbeaten Ali Nuumbembe in a 10-rounder in Namibia in 2004, since when Uushona has also won in South Africa and in the States to build up a record of 23-0 (8).
Uushona is clearly coming to win but does not rank as a puncher which looks crucial because there are some doubts about Vassell's chin. Nevertheless, Uushona has done the full 12 rounds five times and we can expect a long, hard, testing fight for both men. Ultimately, Vassell showed he could grind out a win against Purdy and does something similar against Uushona.
