Tony Jeffries To Fight in Sunderland on July The 10th
By Terence Dooley
Olympic light heavyweight bronze medal winner Tony Jeffries is set to fight in his hometown of Sunderland on the 10th of July.
It will be Jeffries' second fight in Sunderland. After the success of the homecoming show in April Tony’s promoter, Frank Maloney, decided to bring another quality bill to the boxing-starved North East.
The show will take place at the Seaburn centre, with Lee Haskins’ British super-flyweight defence against Ross Burkinshaw topping the card. Jeffries, though, is the real draw here, and his fans will once again belt out their support for the Mackem boxer.
Jeffries has fought twice since returning from Olympics; in his last fight he hammered Roy Meissener in two one-sided rounds. Jeffries' fans will be hoping for more of the same, and the fighter has promised not disappoint them.
Undercard action will also feature another Olympic bronze medallist; Darren Sutherland will take place in his fourth pro fight, and is a potential opponent for Jeffries down the line, both men are campaigning at super-middle. The addition of Sutherland gives the Sunderland fans the chance to compare and contrast the development of the two fighters.
Tickets are priced 80 and 40 and are available from 0871 226 1508 or from www.frankmaloney.com
