The bill entitled Invincible now at the brand new £29m state of the art Ashington Leisure centre has quickly become one of the strongest bills in recent times with the regions top talent all wanting to feature on this outstanding night of professional boxing.
The last time proffesional boxing was in Ashington was 70 years ago in 1936 at the Princess Ballroom when the likes of Ted Cullen, Douglas Parker and Harry Best all featured. Fighting Chance are delighted to bring professional boxing back to Northumberland.
Headlining the bill is Danny Wall from Pegswood against Ashington born Darlington based Steve Cooper in an intriguing match up for the Super a middleweight British Challenge belt.
Boxing for the northern area welterweight title is Birtleys Tom Whitfield who trains out of Mal Gates gym in South Shields. Tom will face Daniel Cope of Hartlepool who has recently changed his own training set up and is now trained by Neil Fannon. This promises to be an explosive contest and is a rematch of the first fight which saw Tom Whitfield win by a single point.
Also featuring on the bill in a 6 round contest is Lewis Ritson the WBC world youth champion, who has quickly chalked up 10 wins. Lewis has now returned to Forest Hall and trains with his dad Davy Ritson who guided him to an ABA final in his Amateur career.
TK Jone Volou looks to continue his impressive start to professional boxing and has his sights firmly set on winning a title in 2016. TK will be looking to step up once again and will look to make another statement in this fight.
Peter Cope the older brother of Daniel will feature on the bill. Peter won the British challenge belt in his last outing on a Fighting Chance show. Peter will be looking to keep busy in a 4 round contest before he steps up again at the end of the year.
Newcastle's Basi Razaq will feature in his first 6 round contest. Basi who is trained by Joe Bivona and managed by Mark Clauzel will bring his all action style into an evenly matched contest against Dwayne Sheldon, who boasts two stoppages to his record.
The exciting east Durham prospect Jay Hughes will be looking to make up for lost time, boxing in his second contest following his Stadium Of Light debut Jay will look to deliver another disciplined performance.
Another of Dave Binns fighters is Darren Surtees (Richardson). Also from the East Durham Gym, Darren will look to continue his outstanding early form in the professional ranks and follow up his last stoppage win with another fine performance.
Henry Thomas the only british boxer to win the Golden Gloves national title in the USA will make his second appearance as he continue his crossover from amateur to professional boxing. Training in York but originally from Darlington Henry has an outstanding amateur pedigree and is a welcome addition to the bill.
Lewis Pendleton Promotor said " Invincible has proven to be a somewhat popular bill, we haven't been able to accommodate every fighter that wanted to appear on the bill such is the strength and depth of North East boxing. We are delighted with the calibre of the card with some outstanding boxers and genuine live contests that will excite the fans. We are delighted to bring boxing to different areas as we look to expand into Durham, Newcastle/Gateshead and now Northumberland"
