Question: Why is Gary’s nickname ‘Five Star’ Sykes?

Tickets remain on sale for the title fight, when Sykes attempts to win the Lonsdale Belt outright.

They are priced £35 adults and £20 juniors, with ringside seats available at £70 each.

With unbeaten Dewsbury fighter Tony Aitcheson also on the impressive seven-fight bill, it promises to be an explosive night of boxing action.

Tickets are on sale at Dewsbury Sports Centre, Modafones shop, opposite Dewsbury market, and from Bar Deco, Bradford Road, Batley, where an after party will take place following the boxing.

Sykes and Aitcheson also have tickets available and any remaining will be on sale at next Friday’s official public weigh-in at Dewsbury Town Hall (1pm).
