Tommy Ghent ruled off Birmingham bill

Coseley's Tommy Ghent has pulled out of his fight in Birmingham with a back injury.

The undefeated welterweight will not compete on the Dave Coldwell-promoted bill at the New Bingley Hall on March 16 as planned.

The 19-year-old had been due in action a month after clocking his third professional win on the Prizefighter bill at Wolverhampton Civic Hall.

But Ghent has pulled a muscle in his back in training and has reported to his osteopath, Dr Poora Singh, for treatment.

Dr Singh doubles up as Ghent's sponsor and treats both 'the Gladiator' and Dudley's Ryan Aston from his practices in Handsworth and Edgbaston.
