VIP Promotions will kick off the year 2008 with a show at the Circus Arena ,inside the Famous Old Blackpool Tower on February 16th 2008. It will be an 8 fight show and will feature the following boxers :

BRIAN ROSE - Will top the bill in his home town - Undefeated in 7 fights at Light-middleweight and a well known seasider !

MARTIN MURRAY - Mr Popular from St Helens, already has a large following after only 2 winning starts as a pro and should help ensure a sell out.

CHRIS JOHNSON - Only down the road in Preston and should also attract good support as he builds on 6 wins since a debut loss.

ALEX MATTVIENKO - Bolton’s one man riot always brings a crowd and excitement to a show

RICK GODDINS - Another Bolton lad who took a large contingent from the Green Barn pub to see his winning pro debut in December.

JON KAYS - Looks to continue his impressive start as a pro and move to 4-0 , took 100 tickets for his Manchester fans.

JACK ARNFIELD - The 18 year old has looked good moving swiftly to 3-0 since turning pro and has promised to sell a load for his first hometown show

JEFF THOMAS - Another Blackpool lad who is looking forward to fighting at home on his comeback trail.

Tickets priced £30.00 balcony and £40.00 outside ringside are available at [Only registered and activated users can see links] ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) or from any of the boxers.

MARK THOMPSON – Has been added to the FTM sports card at York Hall on the 1st February 2008 where he will box a 6 round contest

Christ stegs you could of made me sound better than that. Something like 'Blackpools one man army of destruction and chaos!!!' :patsch

[STEVE WOOD]

Emma,

I have to represent Mark at a board meeting over the way he pulled out of the eliminator with Brook which was set for the 8th December 2007.

It looks like the board will suspend Mark from contesting the British title for 12 months and maybe fine him ( I will pay it if it happens as it was no fault of Marks) - a complete joke if you were to ask me but in a way it sums up a part of Boxing that we have to live with.

Mark and his his team were happy to fight Kell, but not when he was not fiit to do so.It seems the board have decided that he will have to wait and if so ,that is what will have to happen.

We will certainly look at other options after the meeting if this is the case.

[The Lads]

Looking forward to this one. Think I fly in from portrugal on the morning of the 16th then straight from manchester to blackpool ! Should be a *******.

[brown bomber]

I hope to be able to cover this show for BBN after taking the next month off.

Good luck Jeff. Hope the comeback goes well for you. Thanks a lot Terry. :good

[brown bomber]

Jeff 'The Tower of Terror' Thomas. The alliteration is there, you could even throw in Jeff 'Blackpool's Tower of Terror' Thomas.

Who trains you Jeff, if you don't mind my asking. Training with Bobby Rimmer now- absolutely awesome.

[Max Molyneux]

The Blackpool Tower Of Powa sounds good.:smoke

[The Lads]

Brodie too, isnt it?

[brown bomber]

Thought as much. Bobby is a good guy. You must be enjoying the sparring with Arnfield and Rose, plus Gomez on his way back soon. Not started sparring yet but the guys proper switched on and he's planned ou what he wants me to do what he wants to work on... I've never had that before so maybe we can do something.... who knows.

[brown bomber]

Brodie too, isnt it? I wish - the guys a ledge!

[elle]

Thanks- elle.... why don't you cme i've got some tickets for sale :D


Would love to Jeff but much as I'm fond of Blackpool I'll be sunning myself somewhere a bit warmer then!

Will add watching you fight live during 2008 to my New Year's Resolutions though - will be worth it just to see you make your entrance to the 'Heartbeat' theme tune!

:thumbsup

Buddy Holly isn't it?

Heartbeat - why do you miss when my baby kisses me, la la la la la

Will really get the crowd going and do wonders for your street cred!

:smile

I asked him in doncaster if he was coming back he said deffo, yet Ive heard nothing.

[STEVE WOOD]

The Lads (Sam),

Mike has moved back to London to be with his girlfriend and give up the idea to fight again, which I personally feel is the best option. He was one of the best fighters ever from England - never mind Manchester - and it would have been a shame to watch him try and capture what he used to have , he was already on the slide when he officially retired.

STEVE WOOD

[elle]

Stegsie - any news on Jamie Moore?

Just wondering if he has had his shoulder operation yet and how long is he likely to be out for?

Really hope his luck changes for the better during 2008.

For the best really. Hope he made enough from the sport to support him and his family for the future.

Impressive flyer!

£30/£40 seems like exceptionally good value for quite a packed bill.

[The Lads]

Without being bias VIP shows are always good value for money. Their fighters are always evenly matched, and when you've got guys like Alex Matvienko, Mark Thompson, Michale Gomez, Jamie Moore, Brian Roser & Martin Murray (to name but a few) its pretty much nailed down that theres going to be excitment along the way.

The Blackpool bill has received some good publicity 'Local boxers look to light up the tower' on SecondsOut.com.

:good :D I love it... I'm back. Looks like I'm fighting Baz Carey in a rematch for those interested. No slip ups this time- I've said it on here before about that fight and i'll prove it on the 16th.

[TomPodmore]

Just been speaking to Baz and he seems confident, say's he's going to make it two out of two against you, Jeff. He, like yourself, doesn't want to lose as he has a title fight (Midland Area) in the offing for May.

He, like yourself, doesn't want to lose as he has a title fight (Midland Area) in the offing for May. Thats great. He can be as confident as he likes he's going to fight the real me this time.... The same me who he avoided when I was unbeaten and backed out of two fights against me at short notice. :scaredas:

How many rounds is this scheduled for?

See results have not gone Mr Carey's way since you last fought, perhaps he just got lucky last time! ;)

[elle]

Best of luck Jeff - not that you'll be needing it as I just know you will win this and then onwards and upwards as they say!

:good
