Tomorrow night, Saturday, April, 26, Steve Woods of VIP Boxing is staging what’s sure to be another action-packed night of boxing at the Robin Park, Wigan, England.

The main event sees Lancashire boxer, Mark Thompson, face Polish man Maurycy Gojko in a ten round welterweight contest. But also on the bill, popular Blackpool light middleweight Brian Rose is looking for a good win this time, having earned a draw in his most recent outing against Manocha Salari.

Trainer Bobby Rimmer spoke to SaddoBoxing this morning and confirmed that after a last minute substitute, Rose is now fighting ‘Gypsy Boy’ – Ernie Smith of the Midlands, who was originally scheduled to fight Alex Matvienko on the same bill.

‘Brian is absolutely fantastic!’ Rimmer enthused, ‘he’s feeling very confident and, as usual, training has gone absolutely great!’
