Luke Jones is fighting fit for next battle
Chasetown's Luke Jones believes he will come into battle fighting fit when he features at Walsall Town Hall on Saturday night.
Jones looks to make it a hat-trick of wins in professional boxing when he steps through the ropes for another four-rounder,
The 22-year-old lightweight goes toe-to-toe with Northern Irishman Alec Bazza, on Errol Johnson's Black Country Boxing show titled 'Going for Gold.'
Jones outpointed Joe Beeden on his debut at the Kings Hall in Stoke-on-Trent last April, for the loss of a share of one round.
He then defeated Harvey Hemsley at the same venue on October 8, winning again over-the-distance but with two drawn rounds.
Now Jones is back in action a month later glad he's not spent too long out of the ring this time, with the shortest trip to a fight venue since he turned over.
He said: "The show has fallen nicely and I am really looking forward to it now. I don't mind that I have stepped in with not too much preparation time, because I am already fit from my last fight.
"I am just sharpening up and ticking over, so that will be no problem at all. It's a great opportunity to take a lot of my supporters to come and watch.
"It will be like a local show, so there should be a good crowd there for me and I appreciate all the support because it does help massively.
"I want to relax a bit more in this fight, throw a few more combinations and come off at angles."
Top of the Town Hall bill will see Manny Zaber, from Old Hill, and Josh Baillie contest the vacant British Challenge super featherweight title over eight rounds.
Four other support contests will support the main event, with Walsall's Martin Gethin and Zach Parker featuring in six-rounders.
Former Midlands, English and British lightweight boss Gethin resumes his campaign at super lightweight, against former English title challenger Liam Richards.
Parker, who was named Best Newcomer at the British Boxing Board of Control Midlands area annual awards, now takes on the never-stopped Adam Jones.
Wolverhampton's Josh Burke will be looking to move into position for the vacant Midlands cruiserweight title, with another win in one of three four-rounders including Jones' outing.
West Bromwich's Thomas Loach undertakes his second outing, after beating Ali Wyatt at the same venue on his debut in September. He takes on debutant Jerral Spencer.
Tickets, priced at £30 and £60 ringside, are on still sale from the Town Hall Box Office on 0845 111 2900. The show is sponsored by Grosvenor Casino Walsall.
The casino, on Bentley Mill Way, will host the weigh-in and after-show party (over 18s). A number of free cars from Yellow Taxis will go from the fight venue to the function.
