Sexton Gets Robinson On May
29 Stoke Show
May 27, 2009
(MAY 27) One of Britain's brightest
prospects returns to the ring on Friday, May 29 as flyweight Ashley
Sexton laces up the gloves at Fenton Manor Sports Complex in
Stoke-on-Trent, England. Undefeated Sexton will square off against
rugged rival Mike Robinson on the undercard of British flyweight
champion Chris Edward's homecoming title defense against Usman Ahmed.
"Flash Ash" Sexton, 5-0 (3), has torn through the competition in his
last three appearances, stopping each opponent behind a hailstorm of
leather to climb into serious contention for the British title.
Just 21 years of age, the Cheshunt based stylist has turned a superb
amateur career in an impressive start as a professional since joining
the paid ranks last August.
Standing in the way of Sexton's ambitions is steadfast Liverpool based
super bantam Mike Robinson, 4-1-1 (0), who is coming off two
terrifically competitive clashes with English super fly titlist Ross
Burkinshaw and has promised to introduce the flashy youngster to the
bitter taste of defeat.
The durable 24 year old Robinson will be a real test for Sexton, who
will have to dig deep and show the resolve necessary to defeat a bigger,
stronger and more experienced opponent who has a lot to prove coming off
a hard fought loss.
