A huge night of Championship Boxing – brought to you by Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing – is heading to Co-op Live on Saturday, September 19.

And it is headlined by Manchester’s own, Pat Brown, who collides with John Hedges for the British & Commonwealth Cruiserweight Titles.

Sale’s Brown, who represented Team GB at the Paris Olympic Games in 2024, has won all six of his fights by way of knockout since turning over as professional last year.

He will bring a massive crowd of followers with him, all with great expectations that Brown will go on to one day become a World Champion.

But standing in his way of securing his first major belt is domestic rival Hedges – known as ’The Gentleman’.

The Essex fighter, who was previously trained by the late, great Ricky Hatton, has a perfect record of 12-0 and is determined to take the titles back to his hometown of Takeley.

Tickets are available on General Sale from midday on Friday, July 24.
