Shakan Pitters takes on Craig Richards this Friday night.
Mick Hennessey promotes two shows in the space of a week on Channel 5 in the UK, as the Fly by Night Studios in Redditch again hosts a night of action on Friday night.
Top of the bill is the ever improving Shakan Pitters (14-0, KO4) and the Birmingham man defends his British Light Heavyweight title for the second time against Craig Richards (15-1-1, KO8).
This match up has been postponed and moved a few times due to illness and pandemic restrictions, but the two finally meet in the Midlands.
Richards would have been considered a favourite for their originally planned contest, but Richards took his eye off the ball in a keep busy fight against Chad Sugden in December 2019, and was held to what looked like a fortunate draw over eight in a flat performance.
