Huddersfield’s top boxers from the Gladiators Boxing Academy are bracing themselves for a string of spring bouts.
Tyrone Nurse gets his breakthrough when he fights Tyler Goodjohn for the English light-welterweight title and the bout is featured on the undercard of the Skysportstelevised MEN show on April 19.

Nurse, who has 27 wins from his 28 fights, had been helping former World Champion Ricky Burns prepare for his title defence loss to American Terrence Crawford.
