FORMER British welterweight champion Derek Roche will be one of the star guests at Poole Amateur Boxing Club's Lighthouse Show on Friday.

Roche, who beat Charlie Kane, Georgie Smith and Scott Dixon to claim the title and a Lonsdale belt in 1999, returns to the Dorset club he used to box for.

Poole-based Steve Bendall, the former IBO and WBU Inter-Continental middleweight title holder, will be the other star guest.

Roche will be bringing his belt to the show so that the aspiring boxers on show can get a view of it.

The event is being staged to raise funds for the Ashley Ambrose Appeal.

An auction of a poster signed by Nigel Benn and Steve Collins will also take place, as well as a raffle.

Seats for the show are already sold out, but balcony tickets are still available from Poole Lighthouse box office.

They can also be purchased on the door on the night from 8.30pm with the boxing starting at 9pm.
