Nathan Heaney is set to defend his British middleweight title against English champion Brad Pauls in Birmingham on March 16th, as part of Queensberry’s 'The Magnificent Seven Ride Again' card. In a surprising victory last November, Heaney claimed the prestigious Lonsdale belt by defeating world title challenger Denzel Bentley. With one dream accomplished, Heaney now eyes a stadium fight at Stoke City’s Bet365 Stadium and a shot at a world title, bringing those aspirations within closer reach. Facing the determined and powerful Brad Pauls (18-1, 10 KO’s), Heaney's opponent believes he has been chosen as an easy target and is eager to make Heaney and his team pay for what he perceives as a miscalculation. Meanwhile, heavyweight contender Joe Joyce (15-2, 14) makes a comeback in a 10-round match against former IBF European champion Kash Ali (21-2, 12), aiming to rebound from rare career setbacks. Adding to the excitement, former WBO International super middleweight champion Zach Parker (23-1, 17) will square off against the former WBA world champion Tyron Zeuge (27-1-1, 15) on the same action-packed card.
