ELLESMERE PORT ACE PAUL BUTLER TO PERFORM PUBLIC WORK-OUT AT PORT ARCADES AHEAD OF HISTORY MAKING WORLD TITLE CHALLENGE

Ellesmere Port hero Paul Butler will perform a free-to-watch public work-out in his hometown at the Port Arcades Shopping Centre on Saturday 21st February ahead of his bid to become a two-time world champion.

Butler, the former IBF World Super-Flyweight Champion, challenges IBF Word Bantamweight Champion Zolani Tete on Friday 6th March at the Liverpool Echo Arena in his bid to become Britain’s first fighter in over a hundred years to win a second world title at lighter weight.

He headlines an action packed, multi-title, show alongside fellow Merseyside stars Kevin Satchell, Jazza Dickens, Liam Smith, Tom Stalker, Stephen Lewis and Lancashire hot-talent Jack Catterall.

Big-hitting ace Butler returns to the Port Arcades after a successful appearance last October in which huge crowds came out to watch the young sensation put on a sensational display.

Butler, now undefeated in 17 fights with eight KO’s, will again be put through his paces in an action-packed work-out by his trainer Anthony Farnell and will give the fans a glimpse of how preparations are going for the big night.

Butler said, “I’m delighted to return to the Port Arcades again and put on a show and meet the fans’ ahead of a massive night at the Echo Arena when I face Zolani Tete for the world title.  It will make me proud to put Ellesmere Port on the world boxing map as the town that holds a double world champion.  The fans’ support is crucial to me and I hope that they come out and show it on Saturday at the Port Arcades and then at the fight on Friday 6th March at the Liverpool Echo Arena.”

Also putting on a performance for the fans will be amateur boxers and future stars from Wirral CP Boxing Club.

Butler will meet with the public, sign autographs and pose for pictures.
