ULIMATE Pro Wrestling UPW is pulling out all the stops to celebrate its birthday next month.

The fight promotion are staging a first anniversary show at Weymouth’s Riviera Hotel on Friday, February 12.

And it promises to be one of the hottest events ever staged on the south coast with some of the sport’s biggest names in action.

Top of the bill is the UPW World Heavyweight Championship clash between title holder, Lord Gideon Grey, and leading contender, Marty Scurll.

The duo are sworn enemies and UPW’s Mark Fry is expecting fireworks in the ring in what promises to be a real slobberknocker.

He said: “We wanted something special for our birthday show and this is it. It’s the big one and it’s going to be a real brawl. Lord Gideon and Marty Scurll are both huge names on the British wrestling circuit and what makes it even more mouth-watering is that they are big, big rivals.”

  • Doors open at 7pm on the night with the first bout getting underway at 7.30pm. Snacks and refreshments are available.

Tickets, priced at £12.50 for adults and £5 for children, are available from Gifts and Goodies in St Alban Street, Weymouth, or on the evening.
