ALTRINCHAM'S Ice Arena hosts a packed night of boxing next month.

Ultimate Boxxer, Britain’s first boxing entertainment brand, returns for a night packed with excitement, adrenaline and unmissable action when it presents its heaviest weight division yet – 'The Cruiserweights' on Friday, July 19.

UBIV, sponsored by MansionBet, will be televised exclusively live on BT Sport 1 and the dedicated boxing channel BoxNation as well as for free on BT’s Sport’s Youtube channel.

Following the thrilling middleweight event in London, UBIV powers into the cruiserweight division for potentially its most explosive tournament yet.

The cruiserweight division has become a firm fan-favourite in recent years, mixing heavyweight power with light-heavyweight speed and delivering some of the most explosive and entertaining action-packed fights.

Ultimate Boxxer features eight highly-ranked fighters from around the UK who will battle their way through the tournament starting in four quarter-finals of three, three-minute rounds, two semi-finals and one final in one night to determine the winner who will win the large share of the prize money, a promotional deal and be catapulted up the domestic ratings.

The action in the ring is combined with live music and entertainment.

The eight cruiserweight contenders ready to fight it out on the night are Dan Cooper (Ruskington), Tony Conquest (Romford), Mikael Lawal (London), Damian Chambers (Dukinfield), Michael Webster (Middlesborough), Matt Sen, (Wolverhampton), Rhasian Earlington (Newcastle-under-Lyme) and Mike McKay (Llandyrnog, Wales).

Ben Shalom, founder of Ultimate Boxxer, said, “Carl Greaves [Ultimate Boxxer matchmaker] has put together a brilliant card which is going to guarantee fireworks – definitely the most exciting card to date.

"The cruiserweight division needs this right now with a huge amount of talent all over the country.

"We’re looking forward to a special night in Manchester."
