There are sure to be fireworks when Rob Norton and David Dolan meet in a rematch for the British and Commonwealth Cruiserweight titles on the 15th January at Altrincham Leisure Centre.
The pair contested a thrilling battle last year as Norton survived three knockdowns to retain his title by unanimous decision.
Dolan, a former Prizefighter finalist, will be keen for revenge and will hope to emulate the success he had in Manchester in 2002 as he won a Commonwealth Games gold medal.
The rematch between Cello Renda and Paul Samuels may however steal the show as they meet in a ten round Middleweight bout. A double knockdown was the highlight when they clashed in Stoke last November and the aggressive duo will no doubt produce another exciting encounter.
Also on the card, Mark Thompson will look to earn a shot at the British Welterweight title as he faces Kevin McIntyre in a ten round eliminator. Winning four times in 2009, Thompson will be keen to continue his recent form and achieve the title shot that has so far eluded him.
Dezzi Higginson could also be on the verge of a British title shot if he defeats Martin Gethin when the two meet over ten rounds for the English Lightweight title.
