Kevin Satchell dismisses Butler talk, Aims for Euro glory

Alistair Hendrie

•Feb 28, 2013

Following a hard fought win against Luke Wilton last weekend, the undefeated British and Commonwealth flyweight champion Kevin Satchell rubbished speculation over a fight with super-flyweight Paul Butler. Satchell is instead targeting a shot at European titlist Silvio Olteanu, and dismissed the links with Butler as pure hearsay. “Like my manager Steve Wood said: why would either of us move weights when we are both doing so well?” asked Satchell. “There’s absolutely no truth in it.

•Jan 25, 2013

While Liverpool currently boasts some of the best fighters in the country, the Everton Red Triangle ABC has been a large part of the town’s success story. Kevin Satchell, the British and Commonwealth flyweight champion, has trained at the gym since he was 12. “We started from absolutely nothing and now we have top guys like Jazza Dickens and Tom Stalker training with us,” says Satchell.

•Jan 11, 2013

After a successful 2012 with six straight wins since turning pro, Kal Yafai is eager for more and has set his sights on the coveted British bantamweight title held by Jamie McDonnell. Yafai is due to fight on Matchroom’s Prizefighter bill on January 19th and although he is yet to announce his opponent, the Birmingham native has big plans for 2013. “The plan is to be British champion by May or June,” said Yafai. “I had six fights in six months last year so I certainly want to stay just as active. The problem is at title level, when you’re fighting 10 or 12 rounds, you can’t fight every few weeks, but I’m still looking to have around six fights this year.”

Golden Boy Push in The UK Can Only Help Khan

•Dec 20, 2012

Despite winning an Olympic silver medal and two world titles at light-welterweight, it’s fair to say Amir Khan has never enjoyed soaring levels of popularity in Britain. Consider his following compared to predecessors Ricky Hatton or David Haye, particularly while boxing away from home, and there’s no contest as to who attracts the fewest travelling fans. A string of detrimental tabloid stories, coupled with his recent move to America, only compound Khan's dwindling popularity among his countrymen.

Kerry Hope Ready To Regroup After Barker Setback

•Dec 12, 2012

Although Darren Barker may be in line for a world title shot after dismantling Kerry Hope over four rounds, the repercussions could be even greater for Hope himself. After a galling loss such as this, a fighter’s next decision is always paramount. Still, it can be difficult for a boxer to make any concrete judgment on perhaps dropping down a level or switching promoters when their pride has been wounded in the heat of battle. The Barker loss, it seems, hit Hope in more ways than one.

•Nov 6, 2012

Tony Pace may be a novice with just three wins and four defeats but the Talbot Green lightweight is far more than meets the eye. Ahead of his British masters title clash with Lance Sheehan on December 1st, Pace has left no stone unturned and has travelled far and wide in search of some of the best sparring Britain can offer. Combining his rigorous training schedule with part-time work at McDonalds, Pace has learned, observed, and soaked up valuable experience training with the likes of British welterweight champion Frankie Gavin and WBO world light-heavyweight champion Nathan Cleverly.

Curtis Woodhouse: I Want To Rip That Belt From Hamilton

•Nov 1, 2012

This June, Curtis Woodhouse and Dale Miles stood toe to toe at Rotherham’s Magna Centre and traded knockout blows for five rounds in one of the most staggering wars of attrition in recent memory. Every time Miles threw, Woodhouse dug in and replied with aplomb. As always, something had to give. Woodhouse used his ring craft to back Miles up, although when he dropped his hands in search of a finish, he walked on to a jarring short right that sent him flailing to the canvas.

Woodhouse-Arthur: Coldwell Eager To Seal The Fight

•Oct 22, 2012

Promoter Dave Coldwell has set the ball rolling in negotiations for a non-title fight between Curtis Woodhouse, the English light-welterweight champion, and Alex Arthur, the former WBO super-featherweight champion. Woodhouse won his domestic title against Dave Ryan in September, and Coldwell is eager to keep his charge active, although he admits a deal is still up in the air. “I spoke to Arthur at the weekend about the fight but he thinks he might have another fight planned. If not, I’m sure he’ll accept,” said Coldwell. “I’ve fancied the fight for a while and I think Curtis can win.”
