Evans is ready for ‘unfinished business’ mn- HEREFORD professional boxer Dean Evans is gear~ ing up for the biggest fight of his career so far when he takes on Andy “Thunder” Harris for the British Chal« lenge title. The contest at Glouces- ter’s GL1 Leisure Centre on Saturday, February 13 is being billed as “unfinished business” due to previous matches between the pair. “We boxed each other twice in the amateurs and he got both decisions," said Evans, who trains at Her- eford Boxing Academy. “1 was robbed in the sec- ond tight in Cheltenham and aimto put the record ~ straight now in the pro ranks. Andy has been in with the likes of Tom Stalker, Luke Campbell and Charlie Flynn in his 35 pro fights, so he’s got a lot of experience. But I’m feeling confident that I can put on a good show and bring the belt back to Hereford.” Tickets can be purchased by calling either Dean Ev- ans on 07791 207282 or Neil Gibbons on 07776 191446. Alternatively, you can pick them up from Hereford Box- ing Academy, situated near Lads Club on Widemarsh Common, between 6.30pm and 9pm on a Tuesday or Thursday.
