We are also thankful to Leon Woodstock and his team for informing us of their decision to vacate in time readiness for the final next year. “It’s a chance to see who is the best out of the eight contenders. Hopefully, Midlands fight fans will back the concept and we can do more BCB Midlands Boxing Super Series at a variety of weights. Let’s see who is the last man standing!” Tickets are priced at £35 general admission (£40 on the door) and £60 (VIP Ringside to include buffet and waitress service), and can be purchased from Friday by calling 0845 111 2900.

It sounds really good to me. Local boxing fans are in for a treat because i know if the event was close enough for me, id be going. Whoever wins itll look good on there resume
Yeah I agree mate. Will probably go to it myself. Just down the road for me. Wished they had done something simular wen my cuz fought.
Yes youre diwn that way arnt you. Something similar would of been good when ur cousin was active. I remember he waited around ages when he was mand for english. Something similar to this s.s would of been great for him. Hopefully if this series is succesful it will branch out into different areas
It was simluar to sam bowen situation. The mids champ was ordered to English title against him (he retired unbeaten) then 4 others pulled out. Like u say I can see other areas following and making these little tournament will b good for small hall boxing.
