DUDLEY boxer Ryan Aston says he is fully prepared for his Black Country battle with Jason Welborn this Saturday.

The duo will go head-to-head for the Midland Area light middleweight title at Wolverhampton Civic Hall.

The D-Day bout sees Rowley Regis' Welborn attempt to defend his crown against 'Tank' Aston on the PJ Promotions' 'You Asked For It' show.

The event will also see two other Midland Area title fights as Redditch's Andy Robinson faces Prince Davies for the super middleweight belt and Des Bowater fights Bobby Jenkinson for the featherweight strap. However, a proposed match between Luke Paddock and Chris Truman will no longer go ahead after both men suffered set-backs in the build up to the contest.

Aston, meanwhile, was full of confidence going into his match-up with Welborn.

He said: "I am more than ready and feeling good.

"My preparation has gone really well and I have been very strong in training.

"It's an exciting fight and I'm looking forward to performing in front of a big crowd.

"Physically and mentally I'm ready for it. I can't wait for Saturday."

Fellow Black Country fighters Tyler Denny and Les Byfield will also be in action on the undercard at the weekend.

Denny comes up against Aaron Robinson while Byfield faces Matt Seawright.

Tickets will be available at the door on the night after more were released. Doors open at 6.30pm with fighting likely to get underway an hour later.
