Aldin Bates will be hoping to avenge a KO loss he suffered in the amateur ranks to Nick Wood when the pair meet this Saturday in the main event of Eternal 23.
The event takes place at the W.A Italian Club in Perth, Western Australia.
Formerly from the United Kingdom and now training out of Mach1 Fight Club in Perth, Bates is undefeated as a professional (4-0) and has already made his case at a title shot with impressive win against Jack Della and Damian Fraser in his last two outings. A win here will put an exclamation point on becoming the number one challenger to fight the winner of next weekend’s title bout between champion Tristan Murphy and challenger Ty Duncan.
Wood has competed within the promotion a pair of times, splitting his bouts with a win and a loss. His last recorded bout was a majority decision loss to Tony Caruso. He will be looking to prove that the second round KO win over Bates back in 2014 in an amateur bout was no fluke.
Youngster Josh Della will face-off against the experienced Matt Eland in a middleweight bout.
