SMITH FACES RIVAL DODSON FOR FIRST DEFENCE

An exciting night of championship boxing hits the Echo Arena on Friday 12 March when Paul Smith makes the first defence of his British Super-Middleweight title against former champion Tony Dodson.

Chief support is Kell Brook's challenge for the WBO Intercontinental title and Eliminator for the WBO World Welterweight title against Krzystof Bienias, and Tony Bellew's challenge for the Vacant Commonwealth Light-Heavyweight title against unbeaten Atoli Moore.

An action packed undercard includes former WBO World Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Maccarinelli, plus the best in young British talent: Stephen and Liam Smith, Ronnie Heffron, Thomas Costello, Tobias Webb, Joe Selkirk and the pro-debut of John Thain.
