BOXER Ali will press on with plans to defend his IBF European Heavyweight title early in the New Year after a tick-over fight fell through.

Bulgarian opponent Mlanden Manev pulled out of the scheduled bout at Sheffield's Ponds Forge Arena in what would have been Rotherham fighter Ali's third fight of the year.

The 29-year-old won the belt in May and made a successful defence in September.

Ali intends keeping busy next year with the stated aim of driving his way up the world rankings.
