British Light Heavyweight Title

Tony Oakey (24-2, 6KOs) isn't known as the biggest of punchers, and already has a loss on his record to Peter Haymer back in the summer of 2005, but claimed the title by beating Steve Spartacus, and clung on to the title last time out with a MD against Brian Magee. Oakey is the workhorse of the pair, and although giving away height, will certainly look to keep on at Haymer and outwork him. Oakey's comeback after a cocaine-ban fall from grace was completed when he claimed the British title but Oakey will be looking to make the next step come Friday night, and establish himself as one of the best light-heavyweights in Britain with a good win.

Peter Haymer (17-4-1, 5KOs) also has the reputation of being a little feather-fisted, and is coming off two defeats, one a 2nd round KO to former champ Ovill McKenzie and another to young journeyman Paul David. Haymer has also been out of action since May last year, and will be hoping to be able to shake off the ring rust quickly. Haymer will hold the physical advantage over Oakey, but will have to assert the reach and jab well to keep Oakey off him and repeat his 2005 victory to claim the British title.
