Bexleyheath Champion Lawrence Set to Defend Crown.

Bexleyheath’s Queensbury British Light Middleweight Champion Dan Lawrence will make the first title defence next month at Epsom racecourse.

Lawrence, 32, will face Margate’s Aaron Lowrey in a mouth-watering clash at the big Night of Champions promotion on March 10.

The Bexleyheath ace will be making his first appearance back in the UK’s premier boxing league since his epic battle with previous 11 stone ruler Marlon Stuart back in September.

That night Lawrence ripped the title away from the champion during a memorable evening.

But he will face a stern test of his championship credentials when he steps back into the same arena to defend his crown for the first time.

Lawrence said: “Matt Marsh knows exactly what to do to get me into shape to face this guy next month and we have been working in stages to ensure I am in peak condition when I step through those ropes.

“We’ve been working on lots of new training techniques, some we’ve never tried before.

“But I’ve improved and performed better in my last two fights with Matt, so I’m confident these new ideas will pay off.”

The man looking to dethrone Lawrence will not be intimidated by the champion when the big night arrives.

However, from what footage Lawrence has seen of his future opponent, he believes he’s got what it takes to put on another winning performance.

Lawrence added: “I’ve watched Lowrey’s last fight on DVD and his style is quite similar to mine, which should make for a great fight.

“I always believe pressure makes you perform better and I’m looking to stay focussed and calm when I’m in there and just put on a great show.”

 As promised, challenger Dan Lawrence has brought the QBL Light Middleweight title home to Bexleyheath after an impressive win over previously undefeated champion Marlon Stuart.

Saturday night saw the Queensbury Boxing League return to the Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey for it’s fourth exciting promotion of 2011 and the capacity crowd were treated to one of the most electric evening of boxing ever witnessed inside a Queensbury ring with the thirteen bout card being filmed by Sky’s Premier Sports channel 433.

In the main event the clash that had everyone talking took place when defending champion Marlon Stuart took on mandatory challenger Dan Lawrence for the coveted Queensbury British Light Middleweight belt.

Making the first defence of his crown after winning the belt back in April, Stuart looked in peak condition as he came in just under the championship limit of 11 stone.

Also weighing in just under the limit, challenger Dan Lawrence looked confident as the pair faced off in the pre fight stare down and with opinion divided on the outcome of the impending battle, the atmosphere in the arena was thrilling as both challenger and champion made their ring entrances.

From the opening bell it was Lawrence who pressed the action as he put the champion on the back foot walking him down as he peppered his opponent with shots. Stuart renowned for his devastating power fired back on several occasions catching the challenger with shots that would have put most people down and looked to have Lawrence in trouble after connecting with one heavy shot, but despite his power Stuart was unable to deter the march of the Bexleyheath boxer.

During the opener after one of several heated exchanges Stuart appeared to pull away from the action in some pain as he gestured to his shoulders as if it had been hurt during the action, but referee Seamus Dunne waived the action on and both fighters continued. Over the course of the proceeding rounds the action followed a similar pattern but it was clear to observers at ringside that Lawrence was in command and piling up the points on the judges scorecards. Controlling the centre of the ring and fighting on the front foot constantly, it was the gutsy challenger that was the aggressor throughout.

As the bout entered the final round both men looked to be tiring but again it was Lawrence who was pushing the action and as the final bell rang out the crowd showed their appreciation for both fighters. As the unanimous verdict was delivered, newly crowed champion Dan Lawrence saluted his supporters and capped off a truly memorable evening of boxing.

Lawrence showed appreciation by saying “I couldn’t have done it without the help and support of my travelling fans and the Matt Marsh Promotions team.”

The first champion for Matt Marsh Promotions since setting up in June this year, Promoter Tim Rickson added, “Dan is our first champion and he won in style. We are hoping that this will inspire other boxers to come forward and join our expanding stable”
