CHAMPION Dan Wellings will defend his Nottinghamshire & Lincolnshire belt tonight when he goes toe-to-toe with Callum Baptiste.

The Grimsby Boxing Academy lightweight – who tops a ten-fight card at the Beachcomber – was due to face Darryl Felstead for a third time.

However, an ankle injury forced his withdrawal from the Humberston night, meaning Wellings will now fight the seasoned Baptiste, from Lincoln.

With three times as much experience as the Grimsby man, 22, the challenger will be looking to stamp his authority on the bout.

But with the added incentive of having his title on the line, Wellings knows that victory would land him permanent ownership of the belt.

Meanwhile, Jake Roberts, Miran Najat and Jack Leggett will make their debuts on the GBA card.

And the night will also feature four female fighters – national champion Milli Hansen, from Cleethorpes Academy School, will compete for the first time on home soil since beating the Irish Champion in Sweden.

Amy Allen, Paige Webb and Kirsty Hill complete the girls' contingent, while unbeaten James Spencer and Lucas Button will also feature.

Tickets are still available for the GBA night. To secure your place at the Beachcomber, call the Box Office on 01472 812666 or Andy Cox on 07515 544441. Prices: £12.50 in advance, or £15 on the door (concessions £5). Ringside seats are also available for just £20.
