DP Carr: First Dean Dodge, then the English title!
PhilBoxing.com Wed, 10 Feb 2021

DP Carr has made his intentions very clear ahead of defending his Southern Area super-featherweight title on next week's #MTKFightNight - defeat Dean Dodge, and then challenge for the English title.
Unbeaten fighters collide as Carr (11-0-1, 4 KOs) faces Dodge (9-0-1, 3 KOs) at the University of Bolton Stadium on Friday 19 February, live in the US on ESPN+ in association with Top Rank, and worldwide on IFL TV.
The fight will also serve as an eliminator for the English super-featherweight title, and Carr plans on taking full advantage of the opportunity.
Carr said: "I'm going to get this win over Dean Dodge, and then I want the English title next. Ever since I won the Southern Area belt, the English title has been on my radar.
"There have been some other names mentioned about fighting for the English title, and I believe I beat any of those. I'm going to put my mind to it and make sure I retain my Southern Area title against Dean Dodge, and then win the English title.
"Dodge will come for a bit of a fight, which is lovely for me. I like it when they come at me and have a go, because that's where they will leave themselves open and I'll make them pay, so we'll see how this one ends up."
Elsewhere on next week’s huge card, Sean McComb and Gavin Gwynne meet for the vacant Commonwealth lightweight title, Darren Tetley and Samuel Antwi collide for the vacant English welterweight title, Pierce O’Leary fights Irvin Magno, Mark McKeown takes on Brad Daws, Paddy Donovan returns, and Mohammed Sameer is back in action.
