An extra 110 tickets have been released for the sensational Sunderland, England show on Saturday, May 2 with a special attraction the homecoming of Olympic Bronze Medal hero Tony Jeffries.

Every ticket originally available was sold within hours for the FTM show, which will be televised live on Sky Box Office, but Sunderland council have now been given permission to add further seats at Crowtree Leisure Centre.

Promoter Frank Maloney explained: "They have found room for another 330 seats at the venue, but 210 went to people on a waiting list.

"That means there are 110 available on first come first served basis. Tony is like Ricky Hatton - a man everybody can identify with. He is a true blue collar hero."

Top of the bill is European light middleweight champion Jamie Moore, who makes the first defence of his title when he faces Ukraine's former amateur star Roman Dzuman.

Mike Tyson conqueror Danny Williams risks his British heavyweight title in a rematch against John McDermott. Their combined weight is almost ¼ ton and if there clash last year is anything to go by it will be an explosive contest.

Brixton's Williams was a controversial points winner in their first meeting when many ringside felt that McDermott had done enough to win.

European super bantamweight champion Rendall Munroe bids to become a double title holder when he meets Ghana's Issac Nettey for the vacant Commonwealth title. Like fellow southpaw Moore, the Leicester dustman is closing in a on a world title tilt.

Promoter Frank Maloney said: "This is the biggest night of boxing in the north-east for 20 years and I am sure the passionate fans will get behind it.

"Manchester has been the capital of British boxing for a decade, but the north-east is about to take that crown."
