Grant Cunningham faces Ryan Clark

Stafford's Grant Cunningham was today facing for a new test on the televised bill at Wolverhampton Civic Hall.

Cunningham will now be pitted against the tough Ryan Clark on Friday night, with Danny Brown pulling out after failing to make the weight.

Their four-round middleweight contest will take place in front of the cameras, filmed by BoxNation, and spectators are urged to arrive early.

The first bout is set to take place at 6:45pm and the show will stay rolling until, at least, 11pm on what will be a busy night of boxing at the Civic.

Former WBO world and European champion Enzo Maccarinelli will tempt to wrest the British cruiserweight title from Shane McPhilbin in the main event.

Dudley's Jason Welborn puts up his Midlands welterweight title against Coventry's James Flinn in chief support.

But, for Cunningham, his undefeated record is what he will be putting on the line.

The 28-year-old from Moss Pit is likely to face a live opponent in Clark, who was training to box for the International Masters super middleweight title.

That show in Burton at the end of the month has now been cancelled and Clark - in his 59th fight at just 22 - wants to make a new statement.

But Cunningham ruined the professional debut of Dan Phelps last time out in October, as he built on his debut points win over Davey Jones last June.

A swift maneuver to feign a right jab before connecting with a solid left hook was a finish worthy of the box last time and a repeat will be the aim.
