HATTON Promotions super-featherweight star Gary Buckland will challenge Gary Sykes for the British super-featherweight title at Sheffield’s Ponds Forge Centre on Saturday 24th September.

HATTON Promotions have shown their ambition by winning the purse bids for two eagerly anticipated domestic title fights.

Leisure Centre in Huddersfield, England - In a super featherweight classic, defending BBBofC British champion Gary Sykes (18-1, 4 KOs), and experienced veteran Carl Johanneson (30-5, 19 KOs), unified their pugilistic efforts to produce one of the best British thrillers of early 2011 with ebb, sweat and blood flowing all around the place. Despite a hard knockdown in round nine, Sykes came out as a winner at the end of the day with a rather narrow unanimous decision in his favor.

Gary Sykes is said to be in fine fettle ahead of his Matchroom promoted, all-Yorkshire showdown with Leeds’s Carl Johanneson in Huddersfield on Saturday night. Sykes defends his British super-feather title yet is coming off a crushing Prizefighter: The Super-Featherweights KO loss to Gary Buckland.
