Two worlds will collide on Friday night when Nathan Bennett takes on James Moorcroft in a final eliminator for the English welterweight title.
The fight will take place on the undercard of Lyndon Arthur’s world title showdown against Braian Nahuel Suarez at the University of Bolton Stadium. Bennett (12-3, 2 KOs) comes into the bout on the back of three straight wins, with his most recent victory coming against Mykhailo Sovtus at the Eventim Olympia back in December.
The 29-year-old, who is managed by Steve Wood, has worked his way up the professional ranks after a strong amateur career. Moorcroft, on the other hand, turned professional following a successful stint in White Collar boxing.
