GALLAGHER vs JONES POSTPONED IN WAKE OF PERSONAL TRAGEDY

Sheffield, England – (Jan 27th, 2025) – Following the sudden and tragic passing of a close family member following a criminal assault in Luton last week, defending British, Commonwealth and European champion Tysie Gallagher has made the difficult decision to withdraw from her scheduled title defences against Ebonie Jones.

A 25-year-old man has now been arrested and charged with murder in connection with last week’s incident.

Originally set to take place on the main card of GBM: A NEW DAWN on Friday, February 7th, the bout will now be rescheduled to an upcoming event once Gallagher is able to return to training.

“This incident has shocked and saddened us all and on behalf of myself and everyone at GBM Sports, we want to extend our deepest sympathies to Tysie Gallagher and her family at this very trying time. We would ask that fans and media respect their privacy in the weeks ahead and whenever Tysie is ready to return, we will be here for her,” said Izzy Asif, GBM founder.

February 7th’s event at the Canon Medical Arena in Sheffield will now proceed as an 11-fight card airing live worldwide on DAZN.

The card is headlined by a main event contest which sees Shakan Pitters challenge defending champion Daniel ‘Blenda’ Dos Santos, a French special forces veteran, for the European Light-Heavyweight Championship.
