Press Release: Esham Pickering intends to win back the British 122-pound title at the Norfolk Showground on Friday night to show he deserves a rematch with either Michael Hunter or Bernard Dunne. The former European champion faces Barking challenger Marc Callaghan (19-10-1) for the title on the Hennessy Sports event being shown live by Sky Sports. Pickering is convinced he is world title material despite setbacks to Hunter – a points decision in October 2005 – and Dunne, the Irishman who earned an unanimous decision over him to win the European crown in November. Pickering returned to winning ways when he outpointed Frederic Gosset over six rounds in January “Marc is an experienced boxer, better than his record suggests and he gave Hunter two good fights so I’m expecting a real fight,” said Pickering. “All my strengths will tell on the night and prove that I’m the best super-bantamweight in Britain and ready for bigger fights. I would love revenge over Hunter and Pickering. I still feel I won that fight with Hunter and it’s held up my career. I put him down twice in rounds one and two, and I know he has stepped up to featherweight, but I would fight him at the weight so long as I get the chance. I’ve got no excuses for Dunne. It was overwhelming boxing over there, but I chucked it away. Tickets are available on 01603 868 606.
