LAWRENCE Bennett has had his English cruiserweight title fight against Matty Askin rescheduled.

Swindon’s ‘Bad Boy’ was due to face reigning champion Askin on February 13 at the Echo Arena in Liverpool.

However, WBO world lightweight champion Terry Flanagan has suffered severe tendonitis and has had to postpone his title defence against Derry Mathews.

A new date of March 12, at the same venue, for the show has been confirmed by promoters Queensberry Promotions.
