Buckland vs. Truscott Near Sell Out In Sheffield

Hatton Promotions have added more seats into Ponds Forge Arena for Saturday’s bumper Sheffield bill.

The response from the Steel City public has been incredible, with unbeaten prospects Adam Etches and Scott Jenkins selling almost 1000 tickets between them.

In the bill topper on the Sky Sports televised show – Gary Buckland defends his British super-featherweight title against Middleborough’s Paul Truscott.

Buckland thrilled Sheffield fans last September when he became champion by beating Gary Sykes in a thriller and fans obviously want more of the exciting Welshman.

Hatton Promotions CEO Ricky Hatton: “Sheffield is a hotbed for boxing and amazing sales for this weekend prove it. Fortunately we have managed to squeeze in a few more seats and a limited number of tickets are now available from our box office.

“At Hatton Promotions we pride ourselves on great shows and fine matchmaking and with most shows selling out, we are doing something right. It promises to be an exceptional night on Saturday. Buckland v Truscott will be edge of the seat stuff for sure. With this sort of response we will be back in Sheffield very soon with another top class show.”

Undercard fights: Patrick Mendy v Bradley Pryce, Sergey Rabchenko v Ronny Gabel, Richard Towers v Harold Sconiers, Adam Etches v Stilian Kostoc, Scott Jenkins v Adrian FuzesiMitch Buckland v Francis Maina. Carl Bell, Jason Cunningham and Jack Perry face selected opponents.
