Place on Hatton's bill, Blackwell earns


TROWBRIDGE professional boxer Nick ‘Bang Bang’ Blackwell has been selected to fight on a Ricky Hatton Promotions show to be held on Sunday, October 4 at the Marriot Hotel in Bristol.
The 18 year old, who opponent is yet to be compulsive, who trains under Mark Kent at the Compitition Gym in Trowbridge, has been sparring with Masters and Western Area Champion Danny Butler, who is in training for an English Title shot against Darren McDermott on the 25th September in Manchester.
“Now and again someone special comes along and Nick Blackwell is the one,” said Kent.
“I have no uncertainty in my mind that this lad will take a British Title in two years and then his sights will be set on a world title.”
Blackwell, and fellow local pro Liam Richards, will be in action at Trowbridge Civic Hall on Friday, September 11. Bradford’s Gareth Heard will also be debuting.
