VIP Boxing's first event of the New Year is scheduled to take place at Circus Arena inside the famous Blackpool Tower on Wednesday, February 16, 2008

Steve Wood of VIP Boxing is expecting a sell-out crowd for the fight night, billed as "Power at the Tower" which will show eight contests.

Homeboy Brian Rose tops the bill. This will be his eighth professional middleweight contest, having won the previous seven, two by way of knockout.

Rose's stablemate and young light welterweight Jack Arnfield is looking to make it four in a row when he takes to the ring on February 18. Tall, and rangey, Arnfield has won all three of his contests, two by way of knockout. Both boxers are trained by Bobby Rimmer.

Also on the bill are: Martin Murray of St.Helens, Preston-based Chris Johnson, Bolton-man Alex Matvienko, Manchester's Jon Kays, Local-boy Jeff Thomas and Bolton-lad Rick Goddins.
