Big time boxing is returning to Southampton with two local fighters in line for major title bouts.

Wayne Batten is organising his first show since splitting with his previous funder and rebranding his stable under the Batten’s Boxing banner.

And two of his brightest talents are hoping to be wearing belts come the end of the show at Southampton Guildhall on Friday, March 1.

Matty Tew will top the bill by defending the International Masters lightweight title he bagged against Ruben Movsesian.

Meanwhile, his stablemate, Jon Fernandes, pictured below, who won the Southern Area super bantamweight title in dramatic fashion against Jamie Speight at the last Guildhall show in November, is also hoping to secure an International Masters shot.
