Battersea’s Denzel Bentley makes ring return on Saturday night

Former British middleweight champion Denzel Bentley will return to action at the Utilita Arena, Birmingham on Saturday night.

The Battersea puncher, 26, will face Sam Evans (10-1-1) in a non-title 10-rounder.

Bentley (14-1-1, 12 KOs) has not boxed since losing his title against Felix Cash in April.

He said: “It’s just nice to be back.

“I was meant to box last month, but the fight never happened and when we got offered this fight I took it right away. I am always in the gym and ready.

“I am pleased it’s an opponent like Sam because he will let his hands go and should be full of ambition. I don’t want full camps for knock over jobs.

“Sam knows that if he can get past me he’ll be right in the big title picture, but I can’t allow anyone to eat from my plate again. I can’t wait for this fight.”

Woodville’s Zach Parker (21-0, 15 KOs) headlines the card and defends his WBO International super-middleweight championship against Manchester’s Marcus Morrison (24-4, 16 KOs). The show is live on BT Sport.
