Jon Lewis Dickinson (14-2, 3KOs) will defend his British cruiserweight championship against Neil Dawson (12-2, 5KOs) on March 8th at the Leisure Centre in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear.

Both fighters have found success as of late on the domestic scene. Dickinson beat Shane McPhilbin to win the British title in October of 2012. He came back this year to defend his belt against David Dolan and Mike Stafford.

Dawson started the year with a decision loss to Danny McIntosh at Prizefighter, but then came back a few weeks later to knock Chris Keane out in two rounds for the vacant WBO International cruiserweight championship.
