TWO of Yorkshire's leading Thai boxers will be keeping superstitions firmly at bay when they step into the ring tomorrow.

Hoping the Friday 13th date will be unlucky for their opponents will be Harrogate-based Paul Pranczke and and Sally Braddon who train at the town's Kao Loi camp. Both are competing in pro-am fights in Middleton, Manchester. Pranczke, a 34-year-old scaffolder from Harlow Hill, said: "Fighting on Friday 13th doesn't worry me at all. I won my 13th fight which also happened to be on a Friday."
