STAFFORD super-middleweight Grant Cunningham has had his fighting future mapped out.

Cunningham made it five wins out of five at Walsall Town Hall at the weekend, and will be back in the ring next month.

Manager Errol Johnson confirmed Cunningham will box at Burton Town Hall on Friday, October 26 on a show to raise funds for injured boxer Jonjo Finnegan.

Johnson says that if he comes through that fight, Cunningham will then make the step up to six-round level before the end of the year.

Johnson, who as a stable of more than 60 boxers, rates Cunningham highly, but his latest win was inconclusive.

He was matched against tough opponent Jamie Bonness and the four-round fight was shaping up well.

But at the end of the opening round, Bonness was clearly in distress and retired on his stool with an injury to his left arm.

Meanwhile, Josh McLaren, Andy Keates, Rob Hunt and Kev Hanks are all on the bill for a Fight Factory show at Staffordshire University's Stanley Matthews Sports Centre on Saturday.

Tickets for the show are available by calling 07766 444626.
