Chris Edwards vs Ashley Sexton
Ashley 'Flash Ash' Sexton returns to action in style on November 13th, as chief support to David Haye's WBA heavyweight title defence against Audley Harrison at the MEN Arena in Manchester. Sexton 9(5)-0-1 takes on reigning Commonwealth champ Chris Edwards 14(4)-14-3 in a mouthwatering clash between two of the country's most exciting flyweights.
"I'm really excited. Chris Edwards was a name that was mentioned before I went pro saying I'd fight him for a title and stuff like that so it's a big, talked about fight and one I'm fully confident of winning", said Sexton.
"It's a real chance for me to shine. Styles make fights and mine and Chris' styles will gel and he's going to be on the receiving end of a lot of stick.
"Everyone knows I carry real power and I think Chris could get laid out."
Sexton boxes for the first time since a hard fought draw against British champion Shinny Bayaar, in which the Cheshunt man showed impressive resolve to fight his way back into a contest that had looked like slipping away. Competing in only his 10th professional fight, some saw Bayaar as a step too far too soon, but Sexton refuses to make excuses.
