‘Enter The Dragons’ this Saturday in Newport
Newport, South Wales has in recent years been the main centre for Welsh boxing and that trend continues this Saturday, 19th May, as Inner Core promotions present ‘Enter The Dragons’.
Top of a packed bill is the Welsh Middleweight title fight between the experienced Barrie Jones, of Ferndale, against local favourite Lee Churcher.
Barrie Jones, 27, has been a professional since 2004 and has shared the ring with a lot of high quality opponents including Kell Brook, Souleymane M’baye and Jason Cook. Jones has won his last three fights and his overall record stands at 19 Wins, 9 Loses with 7 KOs.
Lee Churcher, 31, turned professional in 2009 and has previously fought for the Welsh Middleweight title, the bout with Gary Cooper ended in a fifth round technical draw. Churcher , has also won his last three bouts and his overall record stands at 9 Wins, 3 Loses, 1 Draw with 2 KOs.
It’s an intriguing bout as Churcher, is the naturally heavier man while Jones has fought at a higher level. The ten rounder for the Welsh Middleweight title will be hotly contested.
The undercard features undefeated Justyn Hugh (9-0-1, 2 KOs) against Steffan Huges (3-6, 1 KO) in a light heavyweight contest and the debut of Jason Samuels against Sean Gorman (2-10-1, 2 KOs) at welterweight. Samuels, is the son of former British light middleweight title challenger, Paul Samuels.
