After Troy knocked out top 10 contender Chris Male inside 1 round back in November 2013 in there British eliminator this is our next step to trying to win the best looking belt & most prestigious to us
The Lord Lonsdale Belt.

Troy will face another good fighter & top 10 ranked opponent in Ronnie 'the Avoided' Clark

I know Clarks people were adamant they would have the fight in Scotland, it doesn't seem to look that way, has we won the purse bids today, despite team Clark having a big backer ;;-)

The fight will take place at Bedworth Civic Hall, just outside Coventry (Troy home town) on Saturday 7th June.

Looking forward to this, I expect fireworks I told ya we won't avoid anyone

Get ya passports ready lads, it's party time

Good news for troy might take a trip up to cov to watch this one. Who's promoting the show mate.

Errol Johnson & Les Allen

This should be really good; I've seen Troy box a couple of times and he's a really decent fighter; I've not seen Clark but read about him (on here ). Ronnie will have to be tuned in for this one as Troy does hit very hard.

Well done guys.. Ronnie will fight anywhere looking forward to coming down :)

Good good we love a bit of rough

Be a good fight. Would be genuinely intrigued to see it just because of here! Never been to Coventry either, been sent there loads of times though. Despite being English, I've got to like Ronnie's cheek recently and after following him on Facebook know he's been through a lot recently. May the best man sin.

its as rough as any normal town mate....no more no less

Edit: City i mean

This fight can be nothing less than explosive,i really cant wait,2 great fighters,come to fight and come to win and a chance to fight for the Lonsdale to boot,couple that with the friendly aggro from both camps on here

Team Clark,if there's a bus heading down can someone PM me please if there's spaces coz i might be interested in coming down

watched Ronnie Clark draw with Ryan Walsh for the Masters, a very good fighter, but Troy James is a very strong man and can punch, it has fight of the year, written all over it, can't see it going the full distance, especially if it is set at a fast pace, lean slightly towards Troy James, if he is in great shape and makes the weight right, but Ronnie Clark will push him hard, what a good match though.

Gonna be a great fight gentlemen, both lads train hard & fight harder so it's gonna be ferocious and that's what we're looking forward too.

We look forward to having a laugh and a drink with Ronnie & his team after the fight.
it's all business & banter while we get ready to go to war but after we're gentlemen

I hope some sort of Tv take note of this even if its to film to show at later date cuz I expect this to be a fantastic small hall classic

100% this won't go the distance

tickets available from?

ps echo all thats been said, great matchup and should be a great fight

Ha ha what's being English got to do with you likening a fighter?

I don't think Troy will be the puncher in there if I am honest, he has a similar record to ronnie and to me he caught male cold. Can happen to anyone, we will soon see but a bit premature regarding calling him a banger. Just my opinion and to be classed one you have a record for say comney who puts the journeymen out of there. Great fight though and the best man will win

Was Troy James ever involved with Barry McGuigan at the start of his pro career or am i getting mixed up :??

I think I remember that as well and McGuigan said that Troy was very heavy handed.
