Daryl Pearce is looking forward to some home comforts when he returns to the ring in two weeks time.
The 26 year-old features on BCB Promotions’ show in the Stadium Suite at the Banks’s Stadium, Walsall Football Club, on Friday February 14.
After having his opening two fights at home, Pearce has been on the right-hand side of the card for the last year as he’s travelled the length and breadth of the country.
Now though, Brummie Pearce is back in the Midlands as he takes on fellow local lad, Clayton Bricknell.
“I have had I good camp for this fight,” Pearce told bcb-promotions.com. “Ii was full excuses last year and my last fight was a reality check.
I ended up kind of on the road but against prospects and I was fighting to keep my mind focused. I didn’t get the results I wanted but it kept me out of trouble.
I’ve never been so excited to box on a show as I am for this one as I’m doing what I should have done a long time ago.
I can feel the difference in myself physically and mentally. I haven’t really looked at Clayton’s fights to see what he can bring as I have been more focused on myself.
“He has my full respect as a fighter but in the ring on the night it’s who is the better man. I wish him all the best and after this fight is out the way I’m looking on levelling out my record. I would like some rematches with a few who I have fought already as I fought them when I wasn’t in the right physical shape to do so. I’m there now and ready for a big year.”
Co-headlining in the Stadium Suite is Kane Baker and Liam Davies, who both undertake six-rounders with future title tilts in mind.
Birmingham’s Baker, from Bartley Green, is a former Midlands lightweight champion, looking to make waves in 2020.
Davies, a proud resident of Donnington in Telford, is chasing vacant Midlands honours at either super bantamweight or bantam.
Walsall’s Kearon Thomas takes on Telford debutant Ryan Whitehead in another intriguing battle.
Completing the line-up is West Bromwich’s Matt Gordon, the big heavyweight who steps back through the ropes intent on ramping up his ring return.
He’s been a pro since 2015, but spent three years out of the sport after a draw with Lukas Horak. He’d previously outpointed James Oliphant and Jindrich Velecky.
Tickets for the bill in the Stadium Suite are on sale now, priced at £35 standard or £65 VIP with buffet, and can be purchased by calling the BCB Box Office on 07493 582 261 or here.
