Berry added to the big Ice Breaker bill
Nyall Berry…added to March 9 show in Coventry
GBM Sports looks set for a sell-out at Coventry Sky Dome on March 9, with the big show
streamed live by talkSport on its youtube boxing channel.
As previously reported, Danny Quartermaine (10-0), just days after recently signing his first long-term promotional deal with GBM Sports, will fight in his stomping ground for the IBF European super-featherweight title.
The Leamington crowd-pleaser expects to have over 400 fans in the arena for his bout with Alex Rat (17-6-2) who previously went the distance with undefeated Archie Sharpe .
In a mouth-watering 50-50 clash, Midlands lightweight champ Scott Melvin (8-1) defends the title he dramatically won in September against local rival, and unbeaten prospect Ameen Khalid (7-0-1).
Middleweight prospect Bradley Goldsmith (9-0) will fight in his hometown as he continues his quest to become the next world champion to emerge from Sheffield’s famous Ingle Gym, following in the footsteps of ‘Prince’ Naseem Hamed, Johnny Nelson, Kell Brook, and Billy-Joe Saunders.
To date, Bradley has sold 500 tickets.
Coventry fighter River Wilson-Bent (15-4-1) will look to return to winning form in his hometown. The 30-year-old has a draw on his record against the current EBU European champion Tyler Denny (18-2-3), and has also faced stars Austin ‘Ammo’ Williams (16-0) and Hamzah Sheeraz (19-0).
One of the hottest UK prospects, Birmingham feather Nyall Berry (9-0-0), who wowed fans on Sky Sports in his last outing, looks to continue his undefeated run on the bill.
Izzy Asif, CEO of GBM Sports, said: “On March 9, we’re going to showcase what all of the hype is about. We’re looking forward to coming to the Midlands.
“This is somewhere I’ve always wanted to put on a show and it's going to be massive. We’re expecting 3,500 people in a packed out arena. We’ve got two title fights, two undefeated local fighters competing for the Midlands Area title, and some highly tipped debutants on the show.”
Ali Meesam, Roha Hudson, Todd Tompkins, and Adam Mohammed will make their debuts on the card.
Musa Moyo (6-0), Callum Singh (4-0), and Minaaz Gurung (2-0) will also feature.
