Bristol boxer Aaron Sutton hopes to take a step closer to a shot at the English title when he defends his Southern Area middleweight strap at The Galleries on Saturday night.
Sutton (15-0) took a step up in class last time out in November and outpointed former world title challenger Joel Julio over eight rounds, and he hopes to continue building momentum when he takes on Liam Wells (9-2) at Underground At The Galleries.
Sutton will defend his belt for the first time since stopping Danny Shannon in Swindon last summer, seeing off two international opponents since, and promoter and trainer Chris Sanigar is delighted by his charge's progress, confident that bigger things are on the horizon for the Kingswood fighter.
