Blackpool boxer RP Davies returns to the ring on March 11 at Preston Guild Hall.
He figures on the undercard of a bill topped by former Commonwealth Games gold medallist Scott Fitzgerald.
Indeed, Davies, who is set to face Sam Omidi, has been sparring with Fitzgerald in the run-up to the fight date.
Davies said: “Sparring has been great and I have been getting the rounds in with a good mix of talent”.
“My opponent is all but confirmed as Sam Omidi, who presents another challenge and a quite different one to some of my recent fights. He has won nearly half of his professional fights and I will not be looking past him, but I am relishing getting back in the ring and looking forward to the task ahead.”
“I am also excited to be fighting at the Guild Hall; it looks a great venue for boxing and tickets have been selling really well.”
“I will be taking a good following. It always humbles me the support I receive for my fights. I am living my dream being a professional fighter and I can’t thank people enough who pay their money to support what I do.”
Tickets are £40 and the first bell is at 7pm. A limited number of tickets remain and are available from Davies Boxing Gym, by calling 0780962863, or by emailing info@rpdboxing.com.
