FOR YOUNG LIGHT heavyweight sensation Karol Itauma everything is going to plan with his professional experience to date and future plans are already mapped out in writing.

CHRIS BOURKE will challenge Marc Leach for the vacant British Super-Bantamweight championship at York Hall, Bethnal Green on Friday March 11, live on BT Sport.

There has been no shortage of hype around Dennis McCann and for five rounds against the durable Juan Jurado, the 20-year-old super-bantamweight hope looked as good as he ever has before he had to settle for a landslide points win at the Copper Box.

After an injury to IBF flyweight champion Sunny Edwards saw Saturday night’s bill scrapped, Louie Lynn turned out to be the main attraction as Friday night’s warm-up prospects show by Queensberry Promotions became the only show of the week at the Copper Box in East London, but he will have gone home a relieved man after winning a split technical decision against Amin Jahanzeb in their featherweight ten-rounder.

I DON’T WANT to tempt fate or put the mockers on it, but I think all England fans are allowing ourselves to dream a little at the moment, aren’t we? There is – until events finally unfold for real on Wednesday night – a strong chance that we will be looking forward to a Euro2020 (/21) Championship final between England and Italy at Wembley Stadium on Sunday evening.

Former IBF light-heavyweight challenger Callum Johnson returned to the ring after more than two years out and stopped Emil Markic, from Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the second round of an absolute tear-up at York Hall, in East London.

Chris Bourke took a big step forward in is fledgling professional career as he blasted his way past Michael Ramabeletsa in two rounds becoming only the second boxer to stop the 39-year-old South African on the Yarde-Arthur undercard at Church House, Westminster.
