Emma Dolan to fight for Commonwealth super-flyweight title against experienced boxer Halima Vunjabei from Tanzania on Carl Greaves 150th promotion show in Newark

The hard work starts now, said Newark-based professional boxer Emma Dolan after her most recent fight was announced.

Dolan will be fighting for the vacant Commonwealth super-flyweight title against experienced boxer Halima Vunjabei from Tanzania.

Dolan moved from Norwich to Newark a few months ago to train under Carl Greaves.

Vunjabei is a tough boxer who has fought all over the world, winning 11 bouts — seven by knockout.

In her last bout she achieved a knockout victoy over Zawadi Kutaka .

It is the first time the title is being contested.

The bout will be on her trainer Greaves’ card at his 150th show.

The Newark trainer and promoter will be holding the event at the Lady Eastwood Centre, Newark Showground, on March 25.

“I am over the moon to say I’ll be boxing for the commonwealth title on March 25 in Newark on a packed card,” said Dolan.

“It will be a tough test for me but one I’m sure I can overcome.

“I’d like to give a big thanks to my trainer and manager Carl Greaves for securing this opportunity for me.”

Dolan is currently unbeaten holding a professional record of 4-0.

Greaves has previously labelled her as a potential champion.

“My 150th show is coming up on the 25th March and it’s going to be in my home town of Newark,” said Greaves.

“In that time I’ve seen so many promoters come and go.

“Trust me when your playing with your own money with no TV and backing it’s not easy, only the strongest survive.”
