On August 28th in Birmingham, England, Queensberry Promotions will present a show with two British championship fights on the bill. Akeem Ennis-Brown (14-0, 1 KO) will risk his British and Commonwealth junior welterweight championships against Liverpool’s former amateur star Sam Maxwell (15-0, 11 KOs). Belfast’s Anthony Cacace (18-1, 7 KOs) will finally get to defend his British super featherweight crown against Lyon Woodstock (12-2, 5 KOs). Injuries and illness has prevented the fight taking place since it was first scheduled last August.

 

Ennis-Brown hasn’t boxed since winning his title in a points win against Philip Bowes last September. He had been due to face Maxwell in March, but he was injured and Maxwell had to be content with a points win against late sub Ben Fields. 

 

Queensberry principal Frank Warren said, “Ennis-Brown vs. Maxwell and Cacace vs. Woodstock fights promise and will deliver excitement for those lucky enough to be there and BT Sport viewers. This is a card that no one can have any complaints about.”

 

Popular light heavywight Anthony Yarde (20-2, 19 KOs) has a warm-up ahead of his likely rematch against Commonwealth champion Lyndon Arthur, who outpointed him last December. Also expecting to see action that night will be Liam Davies (9-0, 4 KOs), who will make his first defence of the English bantamweight title.
