PROFESSIONAL boxer Dean Evans has stepped up his training ahead of his next fight.

The Hereford fighter will be up against Sheffield's Qasim Hussain at the G11 Leisure Centre in Gloucester on Saturday, September 12.

Evans trains at Hereford Boxing Academy and Swindon's Horseshoe gym and has been getting plenty of rounds under his belt with quality sparring in Newport, Swindon and Gloucester.

And his trainer Joe Wrona is confident Evans can make it two wins out of two.

"We have had Dean sparring Jamie Speight who challenges for the English Featherweight title in September," said Wrona.

"Dean's looking very fit and sharp and is improving all the time.

"If he gets the same support as last time at the G11, then we are confident Dean can put on a good performance."

Tickets for the fight can be purchased by calling Dean Evans on 07791 207282 or Neil Gibbons on 07776 191446.
