UNBEATEN Cruiserweight Matty Askin will head the bill when big time boxing returns to Blackpool this summer.
Matty Askin will lead the line-up which includes world title challenger Matthew Hatton at Blackpool Tower on Friday 19th August against a selected overseas opponent.
Tickets are £35. Please ring or text 07512352034 / 07858960947 to book tickets now.
Askin, 22, has won all ten professional fights so far and is rapidly closing in in British champion Robert Norton.
He said: “Topping the bill is your hometown is one of the best things that can happen to you.
“There is going to be an absolutely electric atmosphere – ten times better when I first boxed there because they were just four round fights.
“Now they are going to see me in a ten or 12 round contest and I really appreciate promoters bringing boxing back to Blackpool.
“There are some good fighters in the area right now. Brian Rose is doing really well and the further I go the better I will become and bring big titles back to Blackpool.”
Askin last boxed in his hometown back in January 2009, but was still learning his trade in novice contests.
He added: “We are looking at an opponent, but all I think about is getting the win in front of my own crowd.”
The undercard will feature local prospects including welterweight hopeful Adam Little.
Tickets are £35. Please ring or text 07512352034 / 07858960947 to book tickets now.
