Twenty nine year old Philip “Quicksilver” Bowes has made a fine start to his career with six unbeaten appearances, but now takes a massive step up in class when he takes on former British Champion Paul Appleby as a special feature in the “Lionheart and Braveheart” show promoted by Steve Goodwin of Goodwin Promotions, at York Hall in London on December 7.
Bowes says of his massive opportunity, “I am delighted to have the opportunity to box someone of Paul’s credentials and this fight will show whether I am capable of getting to British title level myself – which I believe I am.
“I do not want to build my record to 10-0 against nobodies. I want to be boxing for titles over the next six months and am aiming for Southern Area and English titles by that time.”
For Appleby, it is a chance to continue his comeback after a win against Lee Connelly earlier this year, as he targets a return to British title level.
The Bowes v Appleby bout is part of an 18 fight extravaganza which starts at 4.30 pm on Saturday 7th December and is expected to run until midnight.
