Sunderland promoter Phil Jeffries is promising North East boxing fans that it’s 50-50 fights on his cards or nothing in the future, as he heads into his next ‘Pro Box North East’ show at the Rainton Meadows Arena on October 19.
True to his word, Jeffries, father of former Olympian Tony, has put together a top line-up for the Arena show, including a cracking North East derby title fight between Sunderland’s Kirk Goodings and Middlesbrough’s Paul Truscott, as well as Martin Ward boxing for the Commonwealth bantamweight crown.
“I don’t want to see fights where you know the outcome before the first bell and nor do the fans,” explained Jeffries. “So any boxers on my shows will have to be in competitive bouts or go and fight on someone else’s.
“This Northern Area title fight between Kirk and Paul is a really close fight. I’ve spoken to plenty of people in the game and no one can choose between them and the fans are in for a terrific fight. The fact that it’s between two North East fighters just gives it that extra edge too.
“Martin Ward is a great talent, very skilful and we still believe in him up here after his defeat to Lee Haskins for the British title. He’s got a tough test in Ghana’s Gabriel Odoi Laryea who has only lost two of 20 fights. He’s a big puncher and has knocked out 11 opponents, so Martin will really have to be on top form if he is to start on the road back to the British title again.
“Let’s be honest, it’s not so long ago that these fights and this show would’ve been on TV, and these are the sort of matches that I want to make in the future.”
The rest of the Rainton Meadows card will feature some of the best unbeaten fighters from the region including Easington’s Paul Archer; South Shields’ Anthony Nelson; Sunderland’s Jonson McClumpha; Hartlepool’s Callum Winton and Mick Hadfield, and Horden’s Anthony Hardy. Also appearing will be Edinburgh’s John McCallum.
Tickets are available from all boxers or by calling 0774 611 020

I remember Micky Hatfield I was really impressed with him as a kid did he do anything as a senior Mi
ck? Good to see there's going to be 50/50 fights throughout the card not as easy to do as it may seem though imo but good luck to all involved

He walked away from the sport mate cAme back last year had a go in the aba s can't remember the kid who beat him but he looked very well in his first fight mate reminded me of myself mate really enjoyed watching him and know he train s very hard as he wants to beat the record and I'm the keeper

Where can I get a ticket for this? Are you still going 'tear up'?

I've been doing some serious training for the last 7 months Bilton you better bring your A-game or it'll be a beatdown!!!!

Really disappointed that the Ward vs Laryea fight for the Commonwealth title is off.
It's still a decent bill, but much less appealing than before.

Truscott vs Goodings should be a cracker though !

Any chance of chris burton being on the bill? Thought he was making a comeback

Kirk Goodings v Paul Truscott both weighed bang on there weights both lads looked in Great shape ,Theres a couple of bouts on where one lad will have lost there unbeaten Records want only 50/50 fights on our shows now,....Looking at a great night for North East boxing fans and the show selling well

Very good card apart from possibly the worst heavyweight fight I've ever seen!

Main event was an absolute cracker, both fighters left nothing in the ring.
