LOCK n LOAD: Toowoomba-trained boxer Les Sherrington. Dave Noonan
TOOWOOMBA-trained boxer Les Sherrington will return to where it all began for him in his next fight.
Sherrington (pictured) will fight for the WBA Oceania middleweight title on December 12 at the Burdekin Memorial Hall in north Queensland.
It will be the first time a professional fight night has been held in Sherrington's home-town of Home Hill and he will be the headline act.
"I am very excited to be fighting in front of my home town of Home Hill after spending most of my childhood here in the Burdekin," Sherrington said.
"This is really going to be something special.
"I am fighting for a highly regarded WBA title that is going to boost me up into the world ratings again...so this one is going to be huge."
Sherrington is coming off a unanimous points decision win over Kazuyuki Fukuyama in June and is working his way back up the world rankings after losing to Sam Soliman last year.
