Kieron Conway to take on veteran Grant Dennis in Northampton homecoming
Northampton fighter Kieron Conway returns home for pro bout later this month
Kieron Conway will be fighting on home soil later this month when he takes on Grant Dennis in a super middleweight bout at the Mercure Hotel in Northampton town centre.
The 30-year-old is coming off the back of his defeat to Mark Jeffers at the Manchester Co-op Live Arena in September.
That was a second straight loss for the former British middleweight champion, but he is keen to get back on the winning trail in his home town.
The Team Shoe-Box fighter takes on veteran campaigner Dennis om Saturday, Nove,ber 28, and will be aiming to notch up a 24th career victory.
Dennis, who is now 43, has enjoyed a long career, winning 21 of his 46 fights.
Conway's bout will top the bill, but the evening will also feature fellow Northampton fighters Ben Vaughan, Callum Latimer, Kyle Norfolk, Yousuf Ibrahim and Ben Alijah.
Tickets for the event are available now, with general admission being £45.
