Shrewsbury heavyweights set for March bouts
Shrewsbury heavyweights Benny Howes and Grant Dales are in action on the town’s next big fight night.
Former champion-turned-promoter Roddy Doran has announced Howes will top the bill against Caffan Humphreys at the Warehouse Severn Social on Saturday, March 5.
Also on the show, Dales meets Martin Williams for the vacant Midlands Area heavyweight championship.
Howes and Humphreys have both won belts with the Universal Boxing Alliance and Doran predicts a clash of styles in a fight that he says has been on the cards for a couple of years.
“We know what Caffan always goes looking for the knockout,” said Doran. “He isn’t coming to outpoint Benny. He’s coming to knock him out.
“But he can’t match Benny for skills. Benny can outbox him, but if he gets caught, he could be in trouble.”
Dales has been out of action for three years, since he was narrowly outpointed by Ash Addison in the final of a ‘Prizefighter’ tournament at Unit 32.
Adrian Richmond goes looking for a third straight win in front of his home crowd and Doran also hands Dan Stubbs and Ben Hancock their debuts on a show that also features crowd-pleaser Jake Richards fighting for the Welsh title.
