Ash Lane Puts Commonwealth Title At Risk In Bristol

Sanigar Events are pleased to announce that Bristol’s Ash Lane will defend his Commonwealth Super bantamweight title against mandatory challenger Emmanuel Quartey from Ghana on the ‘Class of 2018’ professional boxing show at Ashton Gate Stadium in Bristol, England.

The championship contest will headline a night of explosive Professional Boxing featuring the best up and coming West Country talent.

Ash Lane won the coveted title in a slick display outpointing South African Michael Ramabeletsa at the Play Arena, Swindon in September. Since then he has been training hard alongside stable mate former World Champion Lee Haskins and sparring the likes of World ranked prospect Andrew Selby. Ash believes he is ready to put on another big performance:

“I am so excited to be defending my title in my adopted home town of Bristol. I have been pleading with Chris and Jamie (Sanigar) to bring the fight here and now it’s my time to prove to them that it was worth it. It will be a tough, tough fight but I will be razor sharp and that belt will be staying in Bristol.”

His opponent will be fearsome knockout artist Emmanuel Quartey who has an impressive record of 21 wins with only 2 defeats and has knocked out 19 of his opponents. The Ghanaian will be looking for a chance to catapult himself into the rankings with a big win over Lane. However having never boxed outside of Africa before it may prove a big ask in front of a hostile Bristolian crowd.

The show will also feature local talent including unbeaten prospects Aaron Sutton, Tim Cutler, Pawel August and Tyler Davies. Exeter’s Faheem Khan and debutant Sam Smythe will complete the line up.

Tickets priced at £30 Unreserved seating, £40 Ringside and £50 & £60 VIP Tables including food are available from Sanigar Events on 0117 949 6699 or https://iboxingtickets.com/products/class-of-2018

Under 16’s accompanied by an adult tickets are £10.
