South Yorkshire fighters target victories across three venues
A bumper weekend lies ahead for South Yorkshire fight fans.
There are shows in Sheffield and Rotherham, while over on Merseyside, Wybourn's Sheldon McDonald takes on Nathan Quarless for the central area title.
The Manor Park cruiserweight needs what would be his 11th career win to make progress up the title ladder, and have a chance of an eventual British title shot.
At the same time, a new boxing venue called the Old Forge in Hillsborough will see three local fighters attempting to protect unbeaten records.
Over the Rotherham border, it is a similar story at the Magna Centre, with five fighters protecting their flawless career statistics.
The locals involved are:
Olympia, Liverpool
Nathan Quarless, Liverpool, (previously 14-3-0) v Sheldon McDonald, Sheffield, (10-1-0) Central Area Cruiserweight.
Magna Centre, Rotherham
Naphtali Nembhard, Sheffield, (7-0-0) v Jose Aguirre, Costa Rica, super middle.
David Allen, Conisbrough, (25-9-2) v Ross McGuigan, London, (7-10-1) heavyweight
