Troy Williamson: record, next fight and profile →
JOSH WARRINGTON MAKES a second defence of his IBF world featherweight title against mandatory challenger Kid Galahad at the FD Arena in Leeds on June 15 and a number of the supporting acts to this huge main event can now be revealed.
Iain Butcher is back in action on Friday – and has ambitions to have some big domestic showdowns in the near future if he is victorious. Butcher (18-4) fights live on iFL TV at the Emirates Arena in Glasgow, and if he comes through this week’s bout, Butcher wants to take on more of the best of British.
Unbeaten middleweight Troy Williamson is ready to take on all-comers as he looks to establish himself as one of the leading lights of the division. ‘Trojan’ (8-0-1-KO5) rounded off 2018 with a comfortable victory over 50-win Rafael Jackiewicz in Manchester and is determined for 2019 to become his breakthrough year in terms of exposure.
Tommy Fury made a solid start to his professional campaign. The 19-year-old was in action at Manchester Arena on Saturday night. Fury, the younger brother of former unified heavyweight king Tyson Fury, outpointed Jevgenijs Andrejevs over four rounds.
Tyrone McKenna insists he’s capable of turning the crowd in his favour when he faces Scotland’s Lewis Benson at Emirates Arena in Glasgow on November 30. Belfast’s ‘Mighty Celt’ (16-1-1-KO6) battles ‘Kid Caramel’ Benson (10-1-KO2) live on BoxNation with both men desperate to bounce back from suffering their first professional defeats on the same card back in June.
Maurice Hooker may well already have been confirmed as a world champion –– but there is set to be another revelation regarding his career very soon. The classy Texan outpointed Terry Flanagan by split decision on Saturday, exclusively live on BT Sport, at Manchester Arena.
Birmingham super-middleweight Ryan Hatton kicked off Frank Warren’s big Belfast show moving to 3-0 with two round win over Hungarian journeyman Attila Tibor Nagy, who drops to 11-30-1.
The undefeated MTK Global-managed middleweight will return to the ring on February 25 in Dunston with that bout acting as a warm-up for his undercard slot in support of Carl Frampton’s big Belfast bout against Nonito Donarire on April 21.
Sam Maxwell and Alex Dickinson are among those who have been added to the undercard of Carl Frampton’s next fight. The Liverpool-based duo, who return on March 16 at Greenbank Sports Academy, as part of an MTK Liverpool card, will then face quick turnarounds after being handed spots on the same card as Frampton’s bill-topping showdown with Nonito Donaire at the SSE Arena in Belfast.
Jeff Saunders dazzled his way to a potential shot at the British title. The Sedgefield super-lightweight barely put a foot wrong at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle, exclusively live on BoxNation. Saunders remained unbeaten with his solid, convincing victory against the previously undefeated Steven Lewis from Liverpool.
