This Friday night at the York Hall in Bethnal Green, London, England, Esham Pickering puts his British Super Bantamweight title at risk against Matthew Marsh.

In a Hennessy Sports promoted fight night, thirty one year old ʽBrown Sugarʼ Pickering of Newark, Nottinghamshire, makes his second defence of the title against the lesser-experienced, younger, Marsh of Sidcup.

Marsh suffered his first defeat last year against Liverpoolsʼ Derry Mathews when he challenged for the WBU Featherweight title. Following the eleventh round TKO, Marsh stepped back up to his natural weight of super bantam and made short work of Ajibu Salum in February of this year – knocking his opponent out in the first round.

Other bouts feature Londoner ʽLightningʼ Lenny Daws as he faces Romanian Mihaitu Mutu in a ten round light welterweight contest. Daws will be looking for his 16th win.
