NEWS ON NOV 7TH SHOW AT ROBIN PARK ARENA WIGAN
MARK MORAN – Was bitterly disappointed to hear Esham Pickering had withdrew from their English title contest citing a virus and then to hear that he was then intending to fight Paul Appleby 3 weeks later for the British Featherweight . Mark remains on the bill but will not now be defending his title , the Pickering tale has yet to be concluded as he is contracted to fight Mark and his fight with Paul Appleby has yet to be approved by the board – talk about jumping the gun !!!!
MARK THOMPSON - With Andrew Ferrans being stopped in last weeks Prize-fighter tournament it left us with a search on for an acceptable opponent , in popped past British Title challenger Craig Dixon who had also competed in the contest ,but was available as he only lost on points to winner Michael Lomax. This is another chance to see if Mark is ready for a crack at the British Title which is surely to come early 2009 if he keeps winning.
KARL PLACE – Has been matched with Robin Deacon and intends to give another impressive performance after his debut success last month.
SCOTT QUIGG – The exciting Brian Hughes trained fighter has agreed to join the FTM/VIP promotional team and will look to shine against Samali Badu.
This 11 fight card topped by Andy Bell v Lee Haskins for the British Super-Flyweight title is looking better by the day and tickets priced £30.00 general and £70.00 ringside are still available from all the boxers , http://www.frankmaloney.com ,the VIP office in Manchester and the box office on 0871 226 1508.
