Anthony Tomlinson vs. Dante Jardon

Sheffield’s Ponds Forge Arena, Sheffield, England 27/8/21

Mexican fighters have a habit of upsetting British fighters. Anthony Joshua, Josh Warrington, James Tennyson and Tommy Frank are all fighters who have come unstuck against unheralded Mexican boxers in recent times … Anthony Tomlinson promises he won’t be next.

On August 27 in his home city at Sheffield’s Ponds Forge Arena, Tomlinson gets his toughest test when he takes on Dante Jardon for the International Boxing Organization (IBO) Inter-Continental Welterweight Title, live on Fightzone.

Jardon enters the contest as the far more experienced man, and with a dangerous record. The Mexico City native has lost just six times in 40 outings and has iced 24 opponents in his 15 year career to date.

Tomlinson though has never tasted defeat and is ultra confident. Very heavy-handed – only six of his foes have heard the final bell in 13 fights – the 29-year-old is promising fireworks and says that if Jardon tries to put it on him, he’ll be seeing stars!

“I’ve watched nothing of him,” said ‘The Truth’, “but I know he’ll have that Mexican style, will come forward and have a fight. I can’t wait and am looking forward to a good scrap; I know for a fact that when people come to fight me, they get knocked out!

“He’s not to be overlooked but I’m more than confident in my ability and what I can do. I’ve cut no corners, have dedicated myself to training, and I’ll be putting this Mexican on the back foot.

“Headlining in Sheffield on Fightzone is massive. I’m all about Sheffield; it’s a great opportunity and I want to thank Dennis, Fight Academy and Fightzone for giving me the platform to showcase my skills.”

Fight Academy host an evening of boxing at Ponds Forge Arena on August 27, topped by Anthony Tomlinson versus Dante Jardon for the IBO Inter-Continental Welterweight Title.

Chief support is a terrific match between Sheffield Central Area Super Featherweight champ Kane Salvin and Manchester’s Michael Gomez Jr. The undercard will also feature the return of Doncaster heavyweight Dave Allen; Chorley’s Mark Jeffers; Levi Kinsiona from Doncaster, Spalding’s Stevi Levy; Wolverhampton’s Katie Healy, and Newcastle’s Tommy Hodgson will make his debut.

Dave Allen vs. Andrea Pesce

Ponds Forge Arena, Sheffield, England 27/8/21

Not only a quality fighter and social media phenomenon – Doncaster’s Dave Allen has also turned his hand to management; passing on his considerable knowledge of the fight game to a number of fledgling fighters.

The ‘White Rhino’ – who has faced top heavies including Luis Ortiz, Tony Yoka and Dillian Whyte – returns to the ring on August 27th at Sheffield’s Ponds Forge Arena, live on Fightzone – appearing on the same undercard as two of his charges, Stevi Levy and Levi Kinsiona.

Norfolk’s Levy, 3-0, and Sheffield’s Levi Kinsiona, 7-1 (1), are part of the supporting cast to headliner Anthony Tomlinson. Undefeated at 13-0 (7), the 29-year-old Sheffield fighter will take on Mexico’s Dante Jardon, 33-6 (24), for the International Boxing Organization (IBO) Inter-Continental Welterweight Title.

Also on the card, another undefeated Sheffield fighter, super featherweight Kane Salvin gets the chance to defend his Central Area Title against Manchester’s Michael Gomez Jr. Salvin is 6-0, while Gomez Jr has lost just once in 14 outings, with the bout also seconding as an eliminator for the English crown.

Allen, 18-5-2 (15), hasn’t boxed since February 2020 and will get a six round workout against Italian Andrea Pesce, 7-13-3 (2) – who will view this as the perfect opportunity to cause an upset by adding Dave’s scalp to his record.

Allen’s ring ‘comeback’ is slated to be a low-key affair. The 29-year-old still harbours British Title ambitions but, after a painful 2019 defeat to David Price, says he will know when the time is right to call it a day, leaving him to fully focus on his stable of fighters.

“I signed Stevi in the first week in June and she had her first fight with me on the 25th of June, which she won. I’ve got a good relationship with Dennis [Hobson] and we got her out straightaway. She’s got a new manager and trainer, and she’s doing great. She’s not had any amateur fights, so she’s going to improve and I’m looking forward to her journey.

“I didn’t want to take on any top pros, or top amateurs turning over. All the amateurs I’ve trained were non-bouters, or one-bouters. I’ve had lots of good pros asking me train or manage them but I haven’t wanted to. I want to work with people like Stevi Levy and I want to see her do well. Fightzone is giving her the opportunity to box on TV, which she probably wouldn’t have got.

“I’ve also got Levi Kinsiona, who’s a really good prospect. In 2022, I think he’ll pick up the English Title and I believe he’ll win a British Title too.”

Michael Gomez Jr vs. Kane Salvin 

Sheffield’s Ponds Forge Arena, Sheffield, England 27/8/21

Michael Gomez Jr says he is levels above Kane Salvin as he prepares to do battle for the Sheffield man’s Central Area Super Featherweight Title, live on Fightzone. The pair will clash on a cracking night of boxing at Sheffield’s Ponds Forge Arena on August 27, with Gomez Jr desperate to get in the ring for his first title shot after the bout was scuppered earlier in the year to allow Salvin to recover from an illness.

Champion Salvin, 6-0, won the title with a contentious victory over fellow ‘Steel City’ fighter Sufi Ahmed in December 2020. In a fan-friendly battle, Salvin and Ahmed went toe-toe for 10 rounds in what many thought was a ‘fight of the night’ encounter, with ‘HurriKane’ coming out on top 97-94.

Moston’s Gomez Jr will take the greater experience into the contest, having turned over in 2014 and losing just once in 14 fights during that time. The son of exciting former British champion Michael Gomez; the 26-year-old has been hailed by his manager Kevin Maree for finally dedicating himself to training and looked in good form in a June warm up fight against battle-hardened Nicaraguan, Cristian Narvaez.

Topping the Sheffield fight night is local fighter Anthony Tomlinson. Undefeated at 13-0 (7), the 29-year-old will take on experienced Mexican, Dante Jardon, 33-6 (24), for the International Boxing Organization (IBO) Inter-Continental Welterweight Title.

Also on the card is popular heavyweight Dave ‘White Rhino’ Allen. The former Commonwealth Title challenger gets a six rounder as he looks to ease himself back into the fight game after a last outing in August 2020 when he stopped Dorian Darch in three rounds.

“I’ve been scheduled to fight for this title about four times now, so the excitement has gone – I just want to fight’ said Gomez Jr, who is trained by Marvin Greaves.  “I also want to give a big ‘shout out’ to Kev Maree, who’s kept grafting away to get this opportunity over the line.

“I’ve seen about two rounds of Kane’s fight [against Sufi Ahmed]. I don’t know too much about him. Me and him are only fighting because I’ve been inactive. Realistically, this shouldn’t be a competitive fight. Ability-wise, I’m levels above him. The only reason we’re meeting at this stage of his career is because my career’s hasn’t gone how it should’ve, and that’s down to myself.

“I’m more mature now. I turned pro when I was 19 or 20 and I wasn’t just a normal kid who turned professional. There were big expectations every fight, it wasn’t easy following someone who was very successful in the game. It’s just taken a long time to get used to it.

“If I don’t beat Kane then I’ll ask myself serious questions because the level I believe I’m good enough to be at is levels above him. Time will tell.”

Anthony Tomlinson vs. Dante Jardon

Ponds Forge Arena, Sheffield, England 27/8/21

Sheffield gets a big night of boxing at Ponds Forge Arena on August 27, live on Fightzone.

Topping the show is local fighter Anthony Tomlinson. Undefeated at 13-0 (7), the 29-year-old will take on experienced Mexican, Dante Jardon, 33-6 (24), for the International Boxing Organization (IBO) Inter-Continental Welterweight Title.

Also undefeated, Sheffield super featherweight Kane Salvin (pictured) will finally get the chance to defend his Central Area Title against Michael Gomez Jr – with the bout originally scheduled then scuppered earlier in the year to allow Kane to recover from illness.

Salvin versus Gomez Jr – which is also an eliminator for the English Title – could well be fight of the night at Ponds Forge. Salvin claimed the belt in an all-action scrap with Sufi Ahmed in December last year, edging out his local rival in a terrific ten round fight to move to 6-0.  Gomez Jr – son of acclaimed former British champion, Michael Gomez – has lost just once in 14 fights, has three KOs but knows that a loss would be a serious backwards step for his career.

Also on the card is popular heavyweight Dave ‘White Rhino’ Allen. The former Commonwealth Title challenger gets a six rounder as he looks to ease himself back into the fight game after a last outing in August 2020 when he stopped Dorian Darch in three rounds.  Allen is currently slated to face Italian, Andrea Pesce, 7-13-3 (2).

“I was gutted the fight [with Gomez Jr] fell through before,” explained Salvin, “but my team said as soon as I was ready to go they’d get it back on, which they have done.

“I’m expecting him to come and give me a good fight, and that’s what I want. There aren’t many fighters about at my level prepared to take these kind of fights but I want to make a statement. On the night it will all come to plan and I’m confident I’ll win.

“I’ve trained hard, left no stone unturned and whatever he wants to do on the night, whether he wants to box – I’ll beat him that way, or if he wants to try and outman me, I’ll beat him at that too.

“It’s going to be a good fight, that’s a definite. I’m looking forward to appearing on Fightzone too, having the cameras in my face! I’ll do whatever I have to, to win. If I have to stand toe-to-toe with Gomez Jr, then that’s what I’ll do, but I can promise you that I’ll win in some way, shape or form.”

Dave Allen vs. Andrea Pesce

Sheffield’s Ponds Forge Arena, Sheffield, England 27/8/21

Dennis Hobson, and Fight Academy partner Steve Crump, serve up a lively night of boxing at Sheffield’s Ponds Forge Arena on Friday August 27, with all the action shown live by exciting new boxing broadcasters, Fightzone TV.

Topping the show is local fighter Anthony Tomlinson. Undefeated at 13-0 (7), the 29-year-old will take on experienced Mexican, Dante Jardon, 33-6 (24), for the International Boxing Organization (IBO) Inter-Continental Welterweight Title, with the winner in line for a shot at the full IBO world title.

Also on the card, another undefeated Sheffield fighter, super featherweight Kane Salvin gets the chance to defend his Central Area Title against Manchester’s Michael Gomez Jr, in what could well be fight-of-the-night. Salvin is 6-0, while Gomez Jr has lost just once in 14 outings, and the spoils for the victor will be a chance to contest the English crown which is currently vacant.

The bill will also see the return of popular Doncaster heavyweight Dave Allen, 18-5-2 (15), who is slated to take on tough Italian, Andrea Pesce, 7-13-3 (2), in a highly-anticipated return after over a year away from the ring. While, well-regarded Mark Jeffers from Chorley also gets a runout; the 23-year-old is currently 12-0 (4) and being talked about in boxing circles as a future world title candidate.

“This match is a step up for Anthony,” said promoter, Hobson.  “It’s a real test and the winner could get a direct shot at the IBO world title. I believe Anthony will do the business though and make a real statement against this tough Mexican.  Anthony wants to test himself against the best in the division, and that’s the path we’re on.

“This is the first big test since he’s come to Fight Academy, and I’m excited by it. The welterweight division is red hot and you have to take on the elite to get titles, and that’s what we’re planning to do with Anthony.  This Mexican isn’t to be taken lightly though. We’ve seen British fighters, including our own like Tommy Frank and Billy Stuart, beaten by Mexican fighters in recent weeks and this is a proper test.

“Salvin against Gomez Jr, on paper, is very close and these Area Title fights are always cracking scraps. Potentially this could be the fight of the night and I’m pleased we’ve finally been able to get it made. The ‘White Rhino’ is also returning on this show! I’ve seen Dave take tough fights in the past when he wasn’t really in top condition, and I’ve been worried for him. But he’s been out of the ring for over 12 months now, has come with us and he’s in fantastic shape. I’m looking forward to seeing the second coming of Dave Allen, and hopefully he’s fresh enough to win a proper title.

“I also think, as does Kevin Maree and Rob Rimmer, that Mark Jeffers could go all the way. The way he holds himself in the ring, potentially he’s world class and I’m going to really enjoy the journey with him. I like him as a person and want to manoeuvre his career up to world level, he has so much potential.

“This is another great Fight Academy show in Sheffield, and another an exciting watch for Fightzone viewers.”
