Ainscough makes “dream comeback” in Prizefighter after first round KO

 

Joe replaces Dodson in hometown show two years after stabbing

 

Joe Ainscough will return to big-time boxing in the Prizefighter Super-Middleweights II tournament in his hometown of Liverpool on March 23, just two years after a stabbing appeared to end his career.

 

The Kirkdale Kid suffered horrific injuries after being stabbed in an incident in Liverpool in April 2009 and was told by doctors that he would never box again.

 

Ainscough excelled as an amateur, winning the ABAs in 1999, and had six wins from his first nine fights as a professional but his future was thrown into doubt when he intervened in a scuffle outside a pub in Walton. As he broke up a fight, Ainscough was stabbed in his lower body from behind twice and suffered a punctured bowel and bladder.

Scotland's Kenny Anderson will not be appearing in Prizefighter: The Super-Middleweights, he has been replaced by Liverpool-based prospect Rocky Fielding, 3-0 (0). Anderson had hoped to feature in the competition but there were fears over his ability to make weight for Wednesday's event at the Liverpool Olympia leaving the field clear for Rocky. The 23-year-old will hope to live up to his name come fight night as he bids to upset established names such as Robin Reid, Pat Maxwell and Carl Dilks.
