Former British title challenger Ross ‘The Boss’ Burkinshaw gets an unexpected but welcome return to the big time on Saturday September 6 when he faces Jason Cunningham for the Commonwealth bantamweight title at the Doncaster Dome.
In a terrific all-Yorkshire battle, Sheffield’s Burkinshaw steps in against home-town man Cunningham after original opponent, and former champion, Martin Ward was forced to withdraw at late notice with a chest infection.
“I’m delighted to get Ross this opportunity,” explained promoter, and Burkinshaw’s manager, Dennis Hobson. “He has been working really hard with trainer Ryan Rhodes and is looking in fantastic shape.
“It’s unfortunate that Martin had to pull out, but he’s been chivalrous and vacated his title with the guarantee that he’ll face the winner between Ross and Jason.
“This is a fantastic fight. I think Jason will be the favourite heading into the contest but Ross knows this is his big chance to get back into the mix.” [Click Here To Read More]
