Dickinson v Dolan Northen is on at Stadium of Light......on the pitch!

Where: Sunderland Stadium of Light
When: sunday, July 3rd,

SUMMER RUMBLE @ THE SOL

PROFESSIONAL boxing returns to the Sunderland Stadium of Light with the Summer Rumble on July 3rd.

Promoter Phil Jeffries are delighted to announce that a Northern Area cruiserweight clash between Sunderland's David Dolan and Birtley's Jon-Lewis Dickinson will top the bill.

It is sure to be a mouth-watering encounter with Fannan-trained Dolan – who has twice missed out on the British cruiserweight crown against Rob Norton – and Dickinson out to prove who is top dog in the North East.

Phil Jeffries said: “This is the biggest North East fight in a quarter of a century.

“This fight would be a worthy British title fight and the winner will be in a strong position to challenge Norton.”

Dickinson will be having his first fight since suffering a fractured jaw against Richard Turba in September 2010.

The 25-year-old is out to re-establish his credentials as one of the country's most exciting cruiserweights after capturing the Prizefighter title in April last year.

It's been a frustrating 12 months for Dickinson, who has lost his last two

Summer Rumble will be packed with North East talent, the main support being a bantamweight clash between West Rainton's Martin Ward and former British and European champion Ian Napa.

The show will be on an outdoor stage in front of the Stadium of Light's West Stand.

Jeffries added: “I've had every pro boxer in the North East trying to get on this bill.

“It's an exciting venue and a place that we hope will see some big fights in the future.”

Tickets for Summer Rumble are priced £30 and available from the boxers or from Phil Jeffries by calling 0191 564 0202.
