Bristol professional boxing duo Dan Stewart and Adam Cummings return to the ring in Swindon on Friday, December 4.

And the former railway town has proved a happy hunting ground for the two light-welterweights – neither has ever lost there.

Cummings, 30, is seeking a fourth win over Jimmy Briggs as he marks the first anniversary of his professional debut.

And he is itching to get back into the ring after a sprained ankle ruled him out of a scheduled fight in Torquay at the end of October.

Cummings does not have to go far to get an assessment of his next opponent – Briggs was beaten on by his regular sparring partner Stewart in his last outing in Devon.

The 21-year-old Barnstaple man's greatest asset is a resolute guard and the Bristolian will have to be both patient and determined in his approach to this six-round encounter.

Fresh from his success over Briggs, Stewart faces former Home Counties ABA champion Mark McCullough in his 10th outing since trading in his vest.

And the 23 year-old Bristolian knows that there is no room for complacency in their six-round clash at the Oasis Leisure Centre against a rival who boasts two stoppages among his five victories.
