Manchester’s Denton Vassell looks set to defend his Commonwealth welterweight title against Oldham’s unbeaten contender Ronnie Heffron at the Manchester Arena on November 30. The “Someone’s 0 must go” title fight is in the works and would bolster cricketer-cum-boxer Freddie Flintoff’s pro debut bill and will be shown as part of BoxNation’s live coverage.
Vassell, 19-0 (9), won the title by decisoning Lee Purdy in 2010. Successful defences against Bethel Ushona and Samuel Colomban followed in 2011.
