The last outing at the Vale Sports Arena for 2024: Welsh Boxing Preview

Promotor Chris Sanigar has made it no secret that all the fighters will be looking to impress tomorrow night, as they all want to be on the BBC card come March next year. 

Kyran Jones (10-0) returns to the Vale Sports Arena after fighting on the Lauren Price vs Jessica McAskill card last timeout against Lewis Howells. The 26-year-old will take on Elliot Eboigbe (1-4), who stopped Thomas Galbraith in the fourth round in his previous outing. Fellow gym mate of Jones, JD Cuevo (2-0), looks to keep his winning streak going after his professional debut in August. The Colombian born, now fighting out of Pontyclun, takes on South African Garth Noot (1-5), who, in his last fight, caused many problems for former Welsh Champion Jake Tinklin after dropping him in the third. 

School teacher Daniel Walshe looks to move to 3-0 as he takes on Oldbury’s Jahfieus Faure (3-19-2). Walshe, trained by former World Champion Lee Selby, has yet to drop a round as a pro after making his debut in June. Haaris Khan (4-0) was set to face India’s Vijendra Kumar, who is undefeated after seven contests but will instead take on Jake Bray (3-24-2). Khan, nicknamed ‘The Hurricane’, sets his sights on a Welsh title fight early next year. After a brutal finish in his last fight against Rajesh Kumar in the sixth round, Bristol’s Anton Haskins (11-0) will take on Nicaraguan Eliecer Quezada (24-30-3) in one of four-six rounders on the card. 

Mountain Ash’s Tony Dixon (14-5) returns to the ring after almost 18 months out of the ring. Dixon, who claimed the Welsh Welterweight title after a narrow 95-94 decision win over Kieran Gething in 2018, will now step in against Costa Rican Berman Sanchez (31-59-4).

Kane Shepherd (5-0) also returns to the Vale Sports Arena after forcing Ishmael Ellis into retirement before the third round of his last fight, which took place at the Utilita Arena on Sky Sports. Shepherd takes on the former WBC World Youth Lightweight Champion, Rajesh Kumar (16-2-1), who returns to the Vale after his last outing against Anton Haskins. 

Aaron Sutton (17-1), who, back in February, went head-to-head with Germome Warburton in a final eliminator for the British Middleweight title. Since then, the Bristolian has recorded a win over Mike Byles, and tomorrow night, he will take on Jensen Irving (4-16-1), who has been stopped just once in his 21 outings as a pro. After making his professional debut at the Galleries in Bristol in June, Antonio Soares (1-0) takes on Richard Helm (1-40-1).
