Hunt and McKervey set for title rematches

Stafford light-welter Rob Hunt and Coventry welterweight Sean McKervey are set for title rematches in their next outings.

The Midlands pair boxed on a First Team-promoted card in Wolverhampton on Sunday, with both contests being crowd-pleasing affairs.

Unbeaten Hunt outpointed Ben Lawler over six; British Masters welter king McKervery drew with Kevin McCauley in a sprint four-rounder.

Now they're to meet again - this time with titles on the line.

The tall, long-limbed 24-year-old, 14-0-1 (1), is due to fight the man he dropped and shut-out, Skegness' former Midland Area 10st boss Lawler, for the vacant International Masters 10st belt in November, possibly on a show in Stoke.

And durable dangerman McCauley, who has gone 2-1-1 in his last four, had hoped a solid showing against the Masters champion would force the southpaw into making a defence against him.

The Stourbridge-based scrapper appears to have got his wish.

McKervey, 7-2-2 (1) and who sparred with former World Amateur champion Frankie Gavin in the run-up to his 12-minute bout on Sunday, will probably make the maiden defence of his strap later in the year - possibly in Coventry.
