HEREFORD'S British featherweight title-holder Darren 'Dazzo' Willi-ams can look forward to vociferous and enthusiastic local support when he faces 21-year-old Scot John Simpson at the city's leisure centre tonight.

Williams will be hoping that his several hundred home-town fans can be a big weapon in his battle against the Greenock-born challenger as he seeks a third successful title defence which would earn him the coveted Lonsdale belt outright.

Simpson, however, has lost just one of his previous 13 bouts.
