Liverpool’s Tony Quigley has been handed a dream opportunity to win the British Super Middleweight title, following Brian Magee’s withdrawal from a scheduled defence against Tony Dodson on March 28.
Belfast’s Magee was forced to cancel the defence of his belt due to a back injury suffered in training.
However, Magee’s misfortune has now worked in Quigley’s favour, as he steps in to fill the void against fellow Liverpudlian Dodson at the Echo Arena in Liverpool.
The prestigious British title has been relinquished by the injured Magee and will remain on the line in Liverpool on March 28.
Already in training for an English title shot on March 28, Quigley now gets the chance to go one better and land the Lonsdale belt. Dodson, meanwhile, remains on course to win back the title he never lost in the ring.
The all-Liverpool clash between Dodson and Quigley conjures memories of the classic Stanley Park dust-up between Shea Neary and Andy Holligan in 1998.
Tony Dodson’s British title fight with Tony Quigley headlines Hayemaker 6: The Mersey Beatdown at the Echo Arena, Liverpool on March 28.
Also featured on the stacked card is Ryan Rhodes’ British title defence against Anthony Small, the British title eliminator between John Watson and Martin Gethin, as well as the pro debut of Olympic Bronze Medallist David Price.
