Nasser Al Harbi seeks ninth win in a row at Birmingham Tower Ballroom

Nov 27 2009 by Ian Johnson, Birmingham Mail

TALENTED Nasser Al Harbi is looking to earn his ninth successive victory at the Birmingham Tower Ballroom tonight, which will signal the start of a serious assault on higher talent.

The question, however, is in which division is he likely to make his move?

He faces veteran Welshman Tye Williams in the middleweight section tonight but is hoping to get down to light middleweight.

Making the lower weight is not a problem for the highly-regarded Brummie but finding opponents has been a big ask.

If he moves down and maintains his strength and power, he will become an even tougher challenge.

But after tonight that appears to be his route towards title territory.

Birmingham lightweight Chris Truman is a little further down the ladder, looking for his third success. But his two victories so far have been impressive and he will be well worth watching tonight.
