WIN: Five pairs of tickets to championship boxing at Birmingham's Genting Arena

Watch Stourbridge's Sam Eggington defend his British and Commonwealth welterweight titles against Bradley Skeete at the Genting Arena next week.

Published

The 22-year-old boxer makes the second defence of the British title and third of his Commonwealth belt back Birmingham next Saturday night.

He faces popular Londoner Skeete, as he aims to move into touching distance of outright ownership of the Lord Lonsdale belt.

His clash against Skeete will top a stacked card, where Kal and Gamal Yafai face crucial nights in their blossoming careers.

British champion Kal is closing in on the world stage and will tackle Moises Flores in an official 12-round eliminator for Kohei Kono's WBA super flyweight title.

Younger sibling Gamal goes after his first domestic crown, challenging for Bobby Jenkinson's newly-won Commonwealth super bantamweight strap.

More Brummies step through the ropes for area honours and a Battle of Birmingham will come at lightweight, as Michael Rooney and Marcus Ffrench meet for the vacant strap.

New Midlands titlist Karl Wiggins, who knocked out Stafford's Rob Hunt in two rounds to take the crown, defends at welter for the first time against Derby's Ryan Fields.

Peterborough's Cello Renda and Warwick's Mike Byles - the latter stepping in for Essington's Ben Wilkes - will also contest a 10-round eliminator for the English light middleweight title.

Tickets are on still general sale priced at £40, £60 and £100 from www.theticketfactory.com. VIP upgrades, costing £150, can be bought exclusively at www.matchroomboxing.com.
