‘Edge of Glory’ is a seven-fight card featuring plethora of upcoming pugilists.

Irishman Blaney, 7-0, will also be looking to get himself in the mix at super middleweight in what will be his second full season as professional.

Newark super middleweight Chad Sugden (5-1) bounced back from his shock defeat to Alistair Warren last year to defeat Raimonds Sneidze in May. Sugden, a former world champion kick-boxer, is also back in action.

Old Hill super featherweight, Manny Zaber (10-1) features as he looks  to stay in shape ahead of a mooted Midlands Area showdown with Black Country rival Les Byfield in the new season.

West Bromwich light heavyweight, Josh Stokes (3-0), will be looking to build on a solid debut boxing season this time around. Stokes has fought three times already this year.

Chasetown lightweight, Luke Jones (3-1-1), and Derby lightweight, Sahib Singh Mann (3-0), complete the card.
