BRADFORD (Park Avenue) will be calling on a world-leading boxing star's knockout power this Saturday as they look to boost their own chances of survival, where entry to the game will be £5 for all.
WBC Silver Super Flyweight champion, Tasif Khan, Bradford, will be in attendance at Avenue's game against Worksop Town at the Horsfall Stadium on Saturday the club have revealed.
Via their social media, the Northern Premier League outfit said: "We can confirm that Super Flyweight Boxing Champion Tasif Khan will be appearing at Saturday's home fixture vs Worksop.
"Tasif will be bringing his Champions belts, and will be available for any photos too!
"Be there, Bradford."
Saturday's match which, of course, will be a monumental fixture for Bradford in their bid for survival, but it will also represent a big day for the rest of the semi-professional circle, with it being 'Non-League Day'.
Non-League Day is a day set aside in English football where supporters of clubs playing at the highest levels of the game are encouraged to experience football at non-league level with which they may be unfamiliar.
The idea was suggested in 2010 by James Doe. It is a non-profit and volunteer-run initiative and is set to coincide with a break in fixtures within the football calendar when the Premier League and Championship sides do not have games. This is so that international fixtures can be played and top level players will be on international duty.
Avenue will be hoping to put on a show for both Khan and those in attendance this time around.
