London taxi driver gets chance to win first professional boxing belt

Cabbie Dean Richardson is set to fight Nathan Graham for the title

London Taxi driver and professional boxer, Dean Richardson, gets a chance to win his first professional belt on 28 September 28. Richardson, from Ruislip, will fight Nathan Graham for the super-welterweight Southern Area title at York Hall in Bethnal Green. 

The two were originally meant to face each other in a final eliminator in June, but when Graham pulled out, Richardson knocked out late-replacement Sergey Martirosyan in 4 rounds of a scheduled six.

The fight will go ahead with the title now on the line and will be the first real step up in the 24-year-old’s career. 

The more experienced Graham, who holds a 20-9 record, will be looking to reclaim the belt which he held in 2013. Tickets for the fight are priced at £40 Unreserved Seating and £65 Ringside and are available on 07702 887088. Credit/debit card purchases can be made by visiting here.
