Newark fighter Andrew Lowe has set a date for his return to the ring, but it will not involve a defence of his hard-fought British Masters Middleweight title.
The former Royal Marine, 31, will instead vacate his title, won convincingly at the second time of asking against Pocklington's Harry Matthews, to drop down to his more natural fighting weight of light-middleweight and is set to take on Snienton's Terry Maughan in a fiery all Nottinghamshire match-up.
A new star is emerging on the Newark boxing scene after Dinesh Puri continued his rise up the amateur ranks by picking up a title on the national stage.
Middleweight Andrew Lowe has hit back at claims from fight rival Harry Matthews that he is over the hill and is vowing to let his fists do the talking when the pair meet in the ring for the third time in December.
