Not only did Barry Hearn pull off a real coup in securing the WBC featherweight title rematch between Michael Brodie and Injin Chi in Manchester again, but Dennis Hobson has also secured home advantage for Clinton Woods in his rematch with Glencoffe Johnson for the vacant IBF light-heavyweight title. Their second fight takes place at Ponds Forge Leisure Centre in Sheffield on February 6.
It wasn't long ago that British fighters had to travel for opportunities such as these. Not any more. Good work, chaps.

Yeah, especially to Hobson who worked very hard, firstly to make sure Woods vs Johnson 1 was for the IBF title and now to get the rematch in Sheffield.

Yes good work all round, Brodie really needs home advantage i feel, as much as i will be cheering him on i don't think he has the tools to defeat Chi and going to Korea would have made his task virtually impossible. Chi is like a machine who enjoys wars and can force the pace even at a late stage after taking so much punishment. Let's hope Woods can do things right this time as well after a lacklustre first showing and then press for a crack at Tarver or a fight with Paul Briggs.
