Bowen, nicknamed Bullet, reached the semi-finals last year before being forced to pull out following a car crash.

He boasts an impressive record having lost just 11 of his 99 fights, six of the defeats of which were by way of disqualification.

Myles Vale, meanwhile, suffered a controversial defeat at 67.5kg to Nathan Heaney with the Stoke boxer persistently holding on but only docked a point in the final round.
