Jamie Sanigar presents a night of boxing on Saturday, July 12, 2008 at the Newport Centre in Newport, Wales as Dai Davies and Jamie Arthur clash for the Welsh Super Featherweight title, supported by a quality bill.
Davies won the Welsh title with a ten round points decision against Henry Jones in October, 2006 and is coming off a narrow one point loss at featherweight to Commonwealth Bantamweight Champion Jason Booth in a non-title fight just two weeks ago in Portsmouth.
Arthur, of Cwmbran, successfully returned from a nearly three year layoff this past April and has vowed to regain the promise he once held after a glittering amateur career but must first overcome the hurdle posed by the Merthyr Tydfill based Welsh Champion Davies.
On the undercard, former Commonwealth title challenger Matthew Edmonds of Newport faces unbeaten Prosper Ankrah of Ghana at bantamweight and Rob Turley of Cefn Forrest meets Syd Razak of Birmingham at featherweight.
Also scheduled to appear are light heavyweight Justyn Hugh of Newport and featherweight Lee Selby of Barry.
Tickets are £25 Unreserved and available by calling the Box Office at 01633 656757. Corporate Hospitality Packages are available by calling 017 949 6699.
Doors open at 7:30PM, first bell at 8PM.
