Francy Luzoho vs. TBA

Hangar Events Venue, in Wolverhampton, England – 22 July 2022

Francy Luzoho is determined to raise his game and show the boxing world that he’s a force to be reckoned with in the super lightweight division.

He goes again when BCB Promotions are back at the Hangar Events Venue, in Wolverhampton, on the Friday evening of July 22.

Luzoho is currently calling the West Midands home, after spending his training camp with coach Shiney Singh, at the MLSS Community Hub gym in Bloxwich.

That puts regular rounds of sparring, with stable-mate and hot pro prospect Macauley Owen, at easy reach and the two have become firm friends.

It also means a long-distance relationship, in the short-term, with his fiancee Jade and young daughter Aaliyah, who are back in Dublin, Ireland.

It was in the Emerald Isle where Luzoho learning his craft, as an amateur, representing St Michaels Boxing Club to the tune of 35 bouts, with 25 of those wins.

He claimed two national novice titles and medals at the Leinster Championships and the Celtic Box Cup all came his way, before turning pro in 2018.

The 27-year-old has boxed in his homeland, Luxembourg and Germany since, before making his UK debut earlier this year.

Luzoho didn’t lose any of the four rounds against Constantin Radoi, rolling over him by a 40-37 points score-line, but believes there is far more to come from him.

He said: “I’m constantly getting the rounds in, sparring, and that’s a good thing. This is another chance to see where I’m at and where I’m getting to.

“I’ll be going home after the fight, to spend as much time with my wife and daughter as possible, for a month or so, because I’m always on the road.

“For this one, me and Macauley spent two weeks in Tenerife (at Casa Kinsella) as part of our training camp. That really gets the mind and body right.

“We are the only two pros in our gym, so we do a lot of sparring rounds together and he’s got the same mindset and goals as me, so we get on well.

“The place we are at in Tenerife is at high altitude and it’s brilliant, we can do runs or sprints in the hills or at sea level. We plan on going there regularly.

“I had my birthday last month (June 1), too, but I was deep in camp, so I haven’t celebrated yet. It’s getting to the point where I don’t think I’ll bother now!

“It’s all about getting ready to deal with this opponent and, when I get out of the ring, I’ll be looking to get another date, as soon as possible.

“I think you will see me at 100 per cent, this time, and I want to show the world what I’m all about. The last time I boxed, I was probably only at 30 or 40 per cent.

“I wanted to stop the guy and battered him from pillar to post but, if I’d been at 100 per cent, I’d have definitely got him out of there. I have to do better this time.”

Tickets for the Hangar bill are available, priced at £40 standard or £75 VIP ringside with buffet, from the BCB Box Office by calling 07493 582 261 or visiting myfighttickets.com.

Francy Luzoho vs. TBA

The Willows, Bath Street, in Willenhall, England – 27 March 2022

It’s all change for Francy Luzoho as he promises fireworks when boxing in England for the first time.

His first appearance on our shores comes when BCB Promotions are at the Willows (Bath Street), in Willenhall, as part of a Sunday afternoon show (March 27).

The Irishman, of Congolese descent, has been in the country since the start of last month, training with coach Shiney Singh at the MLSS Community Hub in Bloxwich.

Luzoho has left behind his fiancee Jade and two-month-old daughter Aaliyah, in Dublin, for his fight camp as he undertakes a fifth pro contest.

The 26-year-old super featherweight is trying to work towards titles, after honours aplenty back in his homeland, as an amateur.

Two national novice titles and medals at the Leinster Championships and the Celtic Box Cup all came his way, representing St Michaels Boxing Club in 35 bouts, with 25 wins.

He turned pro in 2018, notching a third round TKO over Sam Jones, before tasting defeat himself in 2019 with a points loss to Martin Quinn, through a 59-56 scoreline after six.

After two years out, Luzoho went to Luxembourg and took on Marko Pavlovic, who somehow reached the final bell, but was on the wrong end of a resounding 40-34 verdict.

Later in 2021, Luzoho scored his second stoppage against Petr Gina in Germany, taking just two rounds to finish him off, and now sees more ring time.

He said: “This is my first time fighting on English soil, but I’ve been all over the place before. I made my debut and had my first loss in Ireland, before travelling around.

“I’ve been all over Europe, learning my trade, doing the rounds, both boxing and sparring with the best talent that I could. It helped me to find myself.

“My debut opponent (Sam Jones) was 6-1, at the time, and I was the first black Irish boxer to walk out alongside a live performance – and I’ve got something lined up for this one!

“If you’re going to do anything, do it right and I always think outside of the box. That’s what you can expect from me, in and out of the ring.

“My nickname is ‘the Butcher Boy,’ which is actually an old Irish film (1997), where the lead character is a kid called Francie. It just stuck really.

“I was born in Ireland, my parents are from the Congo but I’ve only been there once, when I was a teenager, and it made me realise how lucky I am.

“I didn’t know that mum’s brother, my uncle Julius, was an Angloan champion. He sadly died in a car crash. She didn’t tell me until after I made my debut!

“My birth surname is Nkodia, but Luzoho is a warrior’s name and it fits me perfectly when I’m boxing. I never stopped anyone, as an amateur, but I broke a few noses!

“I jumped straight into a 50-50 (against Martin Quinn) and I still should have won. It was a bad decision. I called for a rematch, he didn’t want it, so I moved on.

“I didn’t box again until last year, the chance came to shake off the cobwebs in Luxembourg. I dropped him three times and he was warned for holding and spitting out his gumshield.

“I went to Germany, too, and I was hoping that I’d get some rounds in, but it didn’t last long. Neither of them was the first choice, as opponents, but it was either take them or go home.

“It’s been quite a year, so far, with becoming a father for the first time, coming to England and working with Shiney (Singh, coach). It’s a new system, but I have the same goals.”

Tickets for the Willows bill are available, priced at £40 standard or £75 VIP ringside with buffet, directly from the boxers or by visiting myfighttickets.com.
