COLDWELL BOXING: MARK THOMPSON LOOKING TO COME BACK WITH A BANG! The stable at Coldwell Boxing continues to grow with the addition of Lancashire welterweight Mark Thompson Despite having a two-year break from the ring, his new promoter David Coldwell is confident about his latest signings future and does not want to waste any time. Hell be making his debut for Coldwell Boxing at The Big Bang in Liverpool on April 14th in a six-rounder and then well be looking to get him back out on a show in May which were just finalising. Hes done his apprenticeship and after he shakes off the cobwebs I wouldnt hesitate in putting him in with either Colin Lynes or Junior Witter who are soon to be fighting for the British welterweight title. Im very excited about working with Mark. Hes an explosive puncher as his pedigree shows. Hes a fantastic signing and were looking to push him into title contention. Hes got the desire and after talking to him hes ready to take on the challenge and hes excited about us pushing him into British and hopefully European title fights. Thompson 23-1 (14) was last seen in action against Kevin McIntyre in a British eliminator in 2010 which he won with a unanimous points decision and by the end of 2012 hes looking to be back at that sort of level. I wanna have the British or Commonwealth title or even bypass them to European level by the end of the year. Coldwell Promotions have got everything going for them and Dave Coldwell is on the up. You see what hes doing for the likes of David Barnes and I want a part of that, Thompson said. Mark Thompsons comeback is part of a stacked card headlined by the British light heavy weight title clash between Tony Bellew and Danny McIntosh on April 14th. The bill also sees local lad John Watson continue his comeback against Jason Cook. And in an intriguing, evenly matched contest unbeaten light heavyweight Matty Clarkson locks horns with former Commonwealth title challenger Jeff Evans. As well as this the emerging talent of Nathan Brough, Scotty Cardle, Hosea Burton and Andy Colquhoun will look to continue their development in the professional ranks.
