Robert Caswell versus Michael Webber-Kane: Super featherweight southern area title fight headlines York Hall show on Saturday night

Robert Caswell’s Southern Area title fight has been a long time coming.

The 23-year-old finally gets to meet Michael Webber-Kane in the ring on Saturday night - over four months after they were originally meant to meet.

Caswell (8-0) and Webber-Kane (11-0) will put their unbeaten records on the line for a chance to win the super featherweight area title and in doing so open doors for much bigger things.

A meeting in October was scrapped after Caswell suffered a perforated eardrum while taking part in his last sparring session of his training camp. Fake injury claims were laughed off by Caswell and a new date quickly agreed.

“It’s been a long time coming,” said the Chatham boxer.

“I feel like it’s been scheduled for a year! I am glad it’s here now. I have felt good in sparring, my last spar was last week and I’m all good.

“It’s billed as a 50-50 fight with a title on the line and this has always been the plan from the start when I turned pro. I always wanted to get to 10-0 and box for the Southern Area first and that is what is happening.

“I have done it a bit quicker than expected but I am happy. I have done 90 rounds of sparring in six weeks and I feel 100% ready.”

Caswell last fought in early September, enjoying a 60-54 points win over Honduran boxer Jayro Fernando Duran while his weekend opponent managed a four-round contest in December against Santiago Garces which also ended in a sound victory on points.

Most of his sparring ahead of this match was with Norwegian Bernard Angelo Torres prior to his IBF and WBO inter-continental featherweight title fight against Bruce Carrington at Madison Square Garden, a bout the American won by TKO in some style.

Caswell might need to go the distance this Saturday in a scheduled
