Putney boxer Allan Gray hopes to get his fight career back on track when he meets Brighton's Lee Wicks in a four-round affair at Elephant & Castle Leisure Centre this Sunday, writes Ziad Chaudry.

The 30-year-old light-middleweight prospect last appeared in the ring 12 months ago when he failed to capture the Southern Area title from Delroy Mellis at Caesars, Streatham.

Meanwhile, Battersea's Howard Eastman could meet world undisputed middleweight ruler Bernard Hopkins if he beats former-WBA king William Joppy on November 17 in Las Vegas.

The Battersea Bomber, who is now promoted by charismatic US promoter Don King, fights on the undercard to the much-anticipated world heavyweight championship rematch between Hasim Rahman and Lennox Lewis.
