TERRI Harper gets a homecoming opportunity in Doncaster’s Keepmoat Stadium this Friday evening when she takes on unbeaten German Natalie Zimmermann over 10 rounds. Harper defends the WBO lightweight strap she took from Rhiannon Dixon. That’s the main event taken care of. Let’s see who will join them on the undercard.
Maxi Hughes vs. Archie Sharp
A solid scrap for the WBC ‘Silver’ lightweight bauble sees relentless Yorkshire veteran Hughes continue his latest run back towards the top, taking on Kent’s once-beaten Sharp. That one loss came last time out as Sharp was beaten on points by Ryan Garner. The form guide favours Maxi, who was last seen dominating Ireland’s Gary Cully.

Tysie Gallagher vs. Ebonie Jones
Bedford’s Gallagher has been competitive at world-class and has now transferred that form to British and Commonwealth level. Portsmouth’s Jones is on a decent run after an early career draw.
Reece Mould vs. Lewis Sylvester
Back-to-back losses left Reece Mould in career danger, especially given the devastating nature of his one-round Ryan Walsh blastout. Sylvester’s sole loss came at the dynamite fists of Sam Noakes. This should be a good domestic scrap.
Ellie Hellewell vs. Stevi Levy
Undefeated local woman Hellewell will fancy extending her record to 7-0 against experienced Levy, who has lost three times in 16 outings but has mixed in better circles along the way.
James Flint vs. Haithem Laamouz
The ‘Young Lion’ Jimmy Flint has a couple of career-boosting wins over the name of Campbell Hatton. Aside from beating the famous offspring, Flint has struggled with a couple of step-ups. Malta’s Laamouz is 20-2, has boxed in a variety of locations, winning an EU title along the way. The 35-year-old could really be anything.
Best of the Rest
The rest of the supporting cast includes Joe Hayden (17-0) and Lewis Booth (16-1), who engage in an intriguing eight-rounder. Taz Nadeem, Edward Hardy, Amaar Akbar, Ted Jackson, and Jamie Mellers also feature.
