Knockout night on the pitch with Frank Bruno

One of British sport's biggest personalities is heading to Shropshire to ensure a boxing club's first show for more than a decade goes with a bang.

Telford Amateur Boxing Club will host a show at AFC Telford United's New Bucks Head ground on Monday, May 23.

And guest of honour will be the former WBC Heavyweight champion Frank Bruno MBE.

"I have been involved at Telford ABC for the last 10 years and we have never staged a show," said club secretary and coach Andrew Hedges.

"It must be at least 15 years since the club last hosted a show so we are really looking forward to this one."

Organisers are planning to stage 12 bouts in a marquee at the New Bucks Head, while the evening will also include a hog roast.

"It's a huge event for the club," said promoter Simon Hume. "To have Frank there will be fantastic and there will be an opportunity for people attending to have a photo with him."

Tickets are available at £50 each while standing tickets for the boxing only are on sale for £10.
