Anthony 'TNT' Taylor will fight for the New Zealand Professional Welterweight title at the inaugural Phil's Place Clash of the Corporates on October 11.
Taylor, who has fashioned a 7-1-1 record as a professional, has power in both hands and should keep the expected sell-out of the Memorial Hall at the QE2 Youth Centre.
An experienced journeyman in Daniel Maxwell will stand in the way of Taylor's quest to win the national welterweight crown.
While the Tauranga Boxing Club boxer has defeated Maxwell in two previous fights by way of unanimous points decisions, he is dead set on taking the title fight decision out of the hands of the judges with a stoppage victory in front of his home town fans.
