Brian Rose will fight Carson Jones on top of a Prizefighter Middleweights bill at the Winter Gardens, Blackpool, England on Saturday, February 14, live on Sky Sports.
Rose’s clash with Jones was originally scheduled for January 23 in Manchester but following the postponement of that bill the Blackpool boxer will now have the chance to fight in front of a hometown crowd as he continues his charge for a second World title shot.
American Jones is familiar on these shores after he gave Kell Brook the fight of his life in July 2012 and returned for a rematch 12 months later.
The bout tops an exciting Prizefighter Middleweights line-up with five fighters putting their ‘0’ on the line.
Promoter Eddie Hearn said, “I’m pleased to have been able to re-schedule Brian’s bout with Jones for Blackpool. I know how much he enjoys fighting in front of his hometown crowd and I am sure he’ll receive fantastic support at the Winter Gardens.
“It is a great opportunity to bring Prizefighter back to the North West (of England), where it is always a popular show. We have some great fighters confirmed and I am sure we’ll see a superb Prizefighter in Blackpool.”
