Sam Eggington takes on King Carlos Molina.
The Skydome in Coventry hosts the return of fans this Saturday night, with Sam Eggington and Carlos Molina meeting for the vacant WBC Silver Middleweight title over twelve rounds in the main event.
It feels like Eggington (29-7, KO18) has been around for decades, but the Midlander has packed so much into a professional career that began in September 2012.
Best known in his early career for fan friendly performances in defeat in two separate Prizefighter tournaments that got the endorsement from promoter, Barry Hearn, who has championed Sam ever since.
‘The Savage’ pretty much learned on the job, and captured British and Commonwealth belts at Welterweight before shipping them to Bradley Skeete on the cards in March 2016.

Brett McGinty broke into the professional boxing ranks on Friday night with victory on his pro debut.
The St Johnston native beat Croatian Jan Ardon on points in a six round contest in Redditch England, winning five of the rounds.
The fight was on the undercard of the British Light-Heavyweight title clash between Shakan Pitters and Craig Richards.
It s been a busy week for the Rickie Hatton trained middleweight who also signed a long term promotion deal with Mick Hennessy Promotions.
McGinty hope s to be back in the ring soon and is looking forward to a busy 2021.
Craig Richards claimed the British title with a ninth round stoppage over Shakan Pitters.
Shakan Pitters was dethroned of his British Light Heavyweight title in his first defence, as Craig ‘Spider’ Richards scored a stunning ninth round stoppage to become the new champion.
Richards was keen to work off his own jab and negate one of Pitters’ strongest weapons, and the Londoner began well, forcing Pitters to ponder and be cautious in his approach, but the champion landed a nice short left hand right at the end of the first frame.
Pitters started to find his range in the second, landing with several jabs, but it was still cagey stuff. Richards put his punches together a lot better in round three, driving Pitters back to the ropes, and the fourth saw Richards make the breakthrough, dropping Pitters heavily.
