Super-talented Liverpool light-middleweight Joe Selkirk is now on course to challenge for a world title after signing a new promotional deal with Frank Warren.
The undefeated 29-year-old next fights on the huge Echo Arena show on Saturday 18th April on the undercard of Derry Mathews’s challenge for the WBA World Lightweight Championship against Richar Abril, live and exclusive on BoxNation.
On the talent-packed Merseyside fight scene, the ex-Rotunda star is regarded as the most naturally gifted boxer to emerge from the big-fight city in recent years, but has only shown glimpses of his true potential because of inactivity due to hand injuries.
He captured the WBO European crown in his last fight against Zoltan Sera with a powerful performance in December 2013 to take his record to 12-0-0 with 6 KO’s and a career high number eight world ranking in the WBO.
After injuring his right hand in the fight, Selkirk underwent an operation that has seen him out of the ring, but now back at the fantastic MGM training facility in Marbella he’s fit and ready to make his long awaited return in an eight-round contest against Yuri Pompilio. The tough Spaniard, who extended Adam Etches over six rounds and Liam Williams to eight rounds, will be a good test for Selkirk.
Selkirk now aims to continue where he left off with hard-hitting performances, but this time maintain a consistent level of activity in his march towards a world title fight in a star packed division currently ruled by Floyd Mayweather (WBC), Demetrius Andrade (WBO), Cornelius Bundrage (IBF) and Erislandy Lara (WBA).
“I just can’t wait to get back in the ring and fight again and I’m over the moon to have signed with Frank Warren who is by far and away the best in the business,” Selkirk enthused. [Click Here To Read More]
