Fighting Chance bring their third professional boxing show
with Invincible on October 8th at Ashington Leisure Centre and
tensions were clearly visible at yesterday's press conference.
Promoter Lewis Pendleton started proceedings with the usual introductions however when he passed over to the fighters Morpeth's Danny Wall predicted a stoppage in the mid rounds against Darlington's Steve Cooper in the headline fight.

It's not unusual for a boxer to believe he is going to win
but although Wall acknowledged that Cooper would have different ideas of how
the fight will go, Cooper's trainer Mike Hall responded directly to Wall about
his prediction, promising that his man will be more than ready on the night and
hinting that Wall wasn't showing Cooper the respect he deserved. Tensions began
to rise and although Wall confirmed that he does give full respect to Cooper,
it was clear to see that this one has definitely gone up a notch and promises
to be a great match up over 8 rounds for the vacant British Challenge Belt.
Invincible will also feature the much anticipated rematch
between Gateshead's Tom Whitfield and Hartlepool's Daniel Cope as they battle
for the Northern Area welterweight title over 10 rounds. Whitfield edged their
previous encounter 58-57 in March 2015 with both men having a 2-0 record at the
time. Whitfield remains unbeaten and Cope will no doubt be looking to gain
revenge over the only man to beat him in the pro ranks.
The show also has a host of the region's top talent at
different stages of their career including Tommy Ward, Lewis Ritson, Darren
Surtees, Jay Hughes, Basi Razaq, Henry Thomas and Fighting ChancfChance's
heavyweight prospect Jone TK Volau.
