Massey sets sights on October bout
Twenty-year old Massey shook off an early scare in his debut fight in Bolton last month to comfortably seal victory against veteran journeyman Jody Meikle.
He received a nasty cut just below his eye in the first round, but his corner team managed to deal with the problem before Massey went on to outclass his opponent and eventually clinch victory in the third round.

Now after a mini-break, the Chapel-en-le-Frith fighter has his second outing in the paid ranks to look forward to.
Massey is provisionally pencilled in to fight on a bill on October 12, again at Bolton’s Reebok Stadium.
Father David Massey says Jack is now back at work in the gym ready to follow up his maiden showing.
