Team England take on France in the next round of the M-1 Challenge on Friday Night at the Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Kansas, USA. Our boys made a real statement on their debut, smashing Japan 4-1 on their home turf, and will be looking to keep the momentum going.

This time, injury means that glamour boy light heavyweight Tom Blackledge will be replaced by Danny Giblin.

The excellent M-1 website has full coverage- including interviews with some of the UK guys.
