Having press released this fight and gotten some nice interest, it is with regret that I announce the fight is off, Stacey’s camp have withdrawn
Although I won’t bore people with all the reasons, I don’t mind saying I am not happy about it. The fight was agreed almost 4 months in advance of the event and I don’t accept the reasons for not doing it if I’m being honest and anyway a commitment is a commitment and if you don’t honour them then there is no future for the game IMO. I have always believed that if you lay claim to a ‘British’ title then you fight ANYONE from Britain and that is why I made the match with a fighter laying claim to that title.
So…we move on. The fight with Stacey WILL NOT happen on anyone’s show now, I don’t work like that. It is my firm belief that Chantelle is the top amateur fighter in the division (62.5) in the country having moved down from 64.5 where she also was dominant and I have no doubt got to go abroad now to get someone who is prepared to fight her and who won’t pull out. However, if there is any female amateur fighter in the country who wants to take this fight, I will leave it open for 4 days. I always believe that fighters should fight for the title of British Champion before moving ahead and so it would be nice if someone wanted to take it so Chantelle can get the chance to fight for the British title.

This post may have a bit of ‘attitude’ I accept, but the lack of professionalism in this game does bug me and is a big reason why the sport is being held back.
