Craig Jones looks to bounce back from his period of injury which saw him miss the last Absolute Adrenaline.

He faces Chris Burnley under White Collar Boxing rules over 3 rounds.

Jones has had a mixed bag of results but has shown that he can perform when he trains correctly. However, he has also shown that a keen young novice can outwork him if he does not apply himself.

Burnley will be one of those keen young novices so you have to mark this down as an even money encounter. Jones will have the experience whilst Burnley will look to just walk through him. Jone's chin and reslove are strong so a stoppage looks unlikely, and if he is on his game, he equally could boss this contest.

Dave Giles returns to the fold after a few years out, appearing on the ‘Executive Stress’ event at The Phoenix Academy on 2^nd March.

Although from a Kickboxing background, he faces the talented James Harvey who was outgunned last time out against an in-form Adam Urban. Although he was beaten on points, he showed courage and determination which will serve him well in this contest.

We last saw Giles in 2009 when he dropped a decision to Jefferson George on Absolute Adrenaline at the o2 Academy.

There is not much between these two and fighting at a lower weight than previously this should be an entertaining affair over 3 rounds.

Tickets are available @ £25 from any fighter or through Bulldog HQ (01202) 294223

Our first Interclub of 2013 will be held on Sat 16th Feb at The Bulldog Ultimate Training Academy HQ.

This will cover all stand up arts including Thai Boxing, Kickboxing, Boxing & K1.

As always this will be a light continuous event with special new rules implemented to ensure that contact is kept at the correct level.

There were several episodes of excessive contact during the latter part of 2012 and this will not be tolerated from any participant or club.

In 2013 it will be 1 warning and then disqualification.

Since re-introducing the Interclub in a smaller format to our calendar of events we have been successful in keeping contact at the correct level in order for participants to be challenged but not hurt. This will be re-emphasized in 2013.

Also: EVERY MATCH MUST BE PRE-MATCHED AND PRE-PAID. THERE WILL BE NO ON THE DAY MATCHING.

Coaches, you will be responsible for gathering entry forms and fees from your students in good time.

The closing date for this event will be WEDNESDAY 13th FEB.

Rules and regulations regarding compulsory equipment are available from Bulldog HQ. All participants MUST HAVE THE CORRECT EQUIPMENT.

Interclubs can be a long day and they are made longer by all of the above not being adhered to. This will not happen in 2013.

Everyone is welcome and we look forward to your help in making this a smooth running success.

FEES: In 2012 we had spectators attempting to enter for free because 'They were only coming for one fight'. The fee below is for entry - it is up to you how long you stay for. 

We do not charge for under 5's.

Fighters: £10 (including a trophy / medal)

Spectators: £5

More details to follow. Entry forms available form your coach or from Bulldog HQ (soon to also be available online)

Adam Urban, who has won the respect of all who have wtached him fight in 2012, finally got his win after 3 reversals at The Phoenix Fight Night.

Urban faced the tall but less experienced James Harvey over 3 rounds of White Collar Boxing.

James Richardson in the Bulldog corner with John Whittam managed to keep the 'Polish Turbine' under control and making use of all the skills he has learned from previous encounters and in the gym. This was the difference as although he had yet to score a win up to this point, he had good skills and footwork which were a little too much for Harvey on the night.

Both men took big shots but it was Urban who looked cleaner and more accurate as he piled in the combinations at a high rate from the first to the last bell.

A clear decision for the Bulldog fighter but all due respect to the less experienced Harvey who was never phazed throughout!
