Keanen Wainwright vs. Sean Davis

Sheffield’s Ponds Forge Arena, England – 12 February 2022

Sheffield banger Keanen Wainwright gets fight number eight at Sheffield’s Ponds Forge Arena on Saturday February 12, live on Fightzone.

On a show that also includes action from top heavyweight, Kash Ali; Keanen gets a good level-marker against a fighter who is always a hard night’s work, Sean Davis.

The Brummie has won 14 of 32 but, more tellingly, has only ever been stopped three times against top fighters – former European Champion Gamal Yafai, and top prospects Reece Mould and Michael Walsh.

Wainwright is also firmly in the ‘top prospect’ category, despite an early defeat on his 6-1 (3) record. After a winning 2018 debut, Wainwright was dropped heavily before losing on points to Boris Shikunov in his second fight . Russian Shikunov looked very strong on the night though and his patchy pro record was deceiving, with an extensive kickboxing career behind him.

Keanen is now on a five fight winning streak, and goes into the Ponds Forge contest on the back of two impressive KOs. Trained by former pro, Glyn Rhodes, and a stable mate of British Flyweight Champ, Tommy Frank, the 24-year-old has his sights firmly set on the Central Area Title in 2022, but is looking to put on an impressive performance for Fightzone viewers first.

“I can’t wait for this fight, I’m so excited, and it’s brilliant that Fightzone are covering the show too. I’ve been watching some top fighters on there, and now people can watch me.

“I’m expecting a tough fight from Shaun. He nearly always goes the distance and he has some good names on his record. I think he actually went 12-0 when he started too, and I’ve not managed to do that!

“This is a six-rounder, and I always go in the ring hoping to do all the rounds to get more experience but I’m never going to hold my shots back because I always want to hurt them before they hurt me!

“If I did stop him then it’ll put me in the company of some good fighters and it would show I have knockout power. People say I’m heavy handed but the shots I’ve knocked people out with I haven’t even loaded up, I’ve just landed!

“I’d like to get the Area Title in early doors this year. I’ve been matched for it twice before and opponents have pulled out – people are asking for too much money to get in the ring with me! I just don’t understand that, if you think you’re good enough then you should back your ability and go for it!

“I’m really not fussed about being looked after either or having easy fights. I want to give people their money’s worth, and as long as I give my all, that’s all that matters.”

Fight Academy’s Steve Crump, said: “Keanen’s one to watch, we really do think highly of him. He learned a lot from that early defeat and has pushed on with some very impressive performances. Sean will be a good test for him on Saturday, and I’m looking forward to seeing how he gets on.”

Fight Academy present an evening of boxing at Ponds Forge Arena on February 12. Appearing on the card will be Rotherham’s Kash Ali; Sheffield fighters Conner Daubney, Perry Howe, Zane Clark and Keanen Wainwright; North Shields’ Tommy Hodgson; Barnsley’s Matty Heppenstall, and Ashton under Lyne’s Zak Miller.

Kash Ali vs. Huenkar Polat

Sheffield’s Ponds Forge Arena, Sheffield, England – 12 February 2022

Kash Ali gets headline honours on Saturday February 12 at Sheffield’s Ponds Forge Arena, on the first Fight Academy and Fightzone event of 2022.

Looking to continue an impressive run of form, the top rated heavyweight will take on Germany’s Huenkar Polat in – what could well be – a risky encounter. Young and ambitious, the 21-year-old German has won eight of 11 fights, with every one of his victories ending by KO. A heavy-hitter, Polat will head into the contest knowing that he can launch his career into orbit by landing just one of his big shots.

This year is a pivotal one for Kash – the big man from Rotherham. After claiming the IBF European Heavyweight Title with an impressive stoppage win over rated Czech fighter, Tomas Salek, in May last year; the 29-year-old is on the up and ready to prove himself at top contender level.

Kash’s game has improved immeasurably since teaming up with trainer and former heavyweight, Richard Towers. With just a single loss on his 21-fight record – a notorious disqualification defeat to Liverpool’s David Price – manager and promoter, Dennis Hobson, is convinced he has a man on his hands who will put some notable heavyweight noses out of joint this year.

“We’ve guided Kash perfectly since he’s been with us,” said Hobson, who has an enviable reputation for manoeuvring fighters onto world honours. “He has been developing – not just as a fighter but as a person – under Richard [Towers], and he has it all; a great skillset, the physical attributes and he hits very hard.

“It was unfortunate that we weren’t able to get him out before Christmas to make another defence of his IBF Title, but we’ve now got him in with this young fighter with a big punch, who will be coming to the UK to make a name for himself. If Kash can get through this fight, then we’ll be looking to let him loose on a big name.”

“We have some really exciting plans for the Fightzone channel this year, and we’ve made our ambitions clear with an already packed schedule of shows from February through to April,” explained Fightzone’s Chief Operating Officer, Asif Vali.

“Fightzone has achieved so much already since its launch just six months ago and has put on some great title fights and shows. We’re looking forward to working with promoters from up and down the country, and I’m excited to kick off 2022 with this show in the great boxing city of Sheffield.”

Fight Academy present an evening of boxing at Ponds Forge Arena on February 12. Appearing on the card will be Rotherham’s Kash Ali; Sheffield fighters Conner Daubney, Muheeb Fazeldin, Perry Howe, Zane Clark and Keanen Wainwright; North Shields’ Tommy Hodgson; Barnsley’s Matty Heppenstall, and Ashton under Lyne’s Zak Miller.

The Fight Academy stable is packed with young talent, none more so than Tommy ‘Hitman’ Hodgson.

A former England international and senior ABA winner, the 25-year-old has made a big impression already, with promoter Dennis Hobson – who has worked with some of the world’s best fighters – believing Hodgson’s debut last year was the best he’d ever seen.

Since that debut, Tommy has notched up another brace of wins, and gets his fourth outing on February 12 at Sheffield’s Ponds Forge Arena on a card headlined by heavyweight Kash Ali, live on Fightzone.

All three of Hodgson’s fights to date have been in Yorkshire, but that’s set to change for the man from North Shields who gets a Northeast homecoming on March 19 when he will make an eagerly anticipated appearance in Newcastle on another Fightzone show.

Ahead of that homecoming, the Newcastle United fan is slated to take on well-respected journeyman, Lee Connelly, on the Ponds Forge show. Connelly, from Derbyshire, has only failed to hear the final bell eight times in 81 contests, and is known in the game as tough, durable and always up for a fight.

“I feel like I’m developing really well, and have shown a bit of everything,” said Tommy, who is trained by Dean Laing and Ross Wilkinson. “I’ve shown I can box and get stuck in when needed. I’ve got a good boxing brain and can cover all aspects of the game. I just need to keep busy, that’s the main thing.

“I’m pleased to be doing six rounds for the first time on this upcoming show. You’ll see the best of me when I start getting into longer fights. Lee [Connelly] will give me the rounds, one hundred per cent and it’s early in my career so I want to learn as much as possible.

“He’ll have a go and he’s a tough lad, and that’s what I want. I want to show some improvements, be nice and sharp and not get caught with anything silly. I’d love to get the stoppage, and if it comes it comes, and if not that’s fine.

“I’m looking forward to fighting again in Sheffield. When it comes to Newcastle though it’ll be a different story. I’ve had so many people messaging me asking when I’m fighting at home. When my fans go to Sheffield they’re the noisiest and craziest there, so it’ll be absolutely buzzing when I fight in Newcastle.”

Jack Massey vs. Bilal Laggoune Result

Bolton Whites Hotel, England – 26 November 2021

Jack Massey W TKO 3 Bilal Laggoune

IBO World Cruiserweight Title

12x 3 Minutes

Jack Massey is the new International Boxing Organisation (IBO) World Cruiserweight champion after demolishing Bilal Laggoune in three rounds in a career-best performance at a packed out Bolton Whites Hotel on November 26.

Massey had promised a tenth round stoppage but managed to get the job done much earlier after detonating a left hook on his Belgian opponent’s chin, and then piling on the pressure to force the referee to intervene and wave off proceedings to the joy of a feverish crowd.

Bilal came to the UK as the more experienced man with just two losses in 29 outings but was never really given a chance to get himself into the fight.

Massey, from Marple, boxed patiently from the first bell against the former European Title challenger before showing world-class power to become the only man to stop his rival, and claim world honours in the process.

Now 19-1, with 10 KOs, Massey’s stock has gone through the roof and the 28-year-old can look forward to a 2022 that promises title defences, unification bouts, or potentially both.

Mark Jeffers W PTS UD 10 Michel Garcia

WBO Global Super Middleweight Title

10x 3 Minutes

Jeffers was given a decent workout by another Belgian visitor, Michel Garcia, before claiming the World Boxing Organisation (WBO) Global Super-Middleweight belt. Garcia had only lost one in 16 prior to the contest but despite looking ‘fleshy’ on the scales proved that appearances are deceptive. Mark – the taller man – was the aggressor throughout the ten round fight, and ultimately claimed a wide and decisive points victory – winning every round on two of the judges scorecards – but wasn’t able to finish the contest early. Garcia proved to be ring-savvy and game as he toughed out the rounds, with Chorley’s unbeaten Jeffers probably learning more in this fight than in his previous 13.

Khaleel Madjid W RTD 2 Naeem Ali

Super Welterweight

4x 3 Minutes

Fight Notes: The Ali corner pulled out between rounds 2-3, citing an eardrum injury.

Nathaniel Collins W KO 9 Thembani Mbangatha

Commonwealth Featherweight Title

12x 3 Minutes

Collins – making the first defence of his Commonwealth Featherweight Title – was predicted to be in deep against South Africa’s Thembani Mbangatha, who came to the UK unbeaten in 11 with five KOs. In truth though, the Scot though dealt with his opponent with relative ease, proving the class that his stellar amateur career had previously promised. Mbangatha was in great shape and had some success, but was ultimately no match for the clever skills from Collins, who had his man down in the eighth before ending matters in the ninth of a scheduled twelve. Nathaniel remains unbeaten in nine – four KOs – and looks a special talent.

Zak Miller W PTS 6 Christian Lopez

Super Featherweight

6x 3 Minutes

Fight Notes: Referees score was 60-55 for a Miller points victory.

Josh Holmes W TKO 8 Ruslan Berchuk

Super Featherweight

8x 3 Minutes

Fight Notes: Time of the TKO stoppage was 2:48 of the 8th and last round for a Holmes win.

Harry Mullins W PTS 4 Marius Vysniauskas

4x 3 Minutes

Flyweight

Fight Notes: Referees score was 40-37 for a Mullins points victory.

Jack Massey vs. Bilal Laggoune

Bolton Whites Hotel, England – 26 November 2021

It’s make or break for Jack Massey this Friday (November 26), with the big cruiserweight in the biggest fight of his life against Bilal Laggoune for the International Boxing Organisation (IBO) World Title, live on Fightzone.

Subscribe to Fightzone for great weekly boxing – just £4.99 a month (use code ‘boxen247’)

The pair will meet at a packed-out Bolton Whites Hotel in a feverish atmosphere that will see the winner move onto – potentially – unification fights, and whoever comes second-best going back to the drawing board.

A former top amateur that included two ABA Title wins, Jack turned over in 2013 and in that time has racked up 18 wins, nine KOs, and just the one – contentious – defeat to touted Londoner, Richard Riakporhe. Aged 28, Massey, still has it all to play for but knows the fight with Laggoune represents his big chance to break onto the world scene. ‘One Smack’ has worked with various promoters but since signing with Dennis Hobson and Steve Crump’s Fight Academy earlier this year, the fighter from Marple has picked up the IBF European belt and now gets a shot at world honours.

Laggoune is best known to British fight fans for his losing effort against Northern Ireland’s Tommy McCarthy in October last year for the EBU crown. The fight was a close affair – with one judge having it a draw – but the cards were stacked in McCarthy’s favour, taking place on UK soil and with Laggoune accepting the fight at short notice. Make no mistake though, the Belgian can fight with just two losses from 29 outings, and 14 KOs also proving that he carries a dig.

Jack and Bilal met for the first time weeks ago at a press conference to announce the show. Now, with the first bell imminent, the Brit says his opponent exudes confidence but that won’t be enough to get him through the fight.

“He comes across as a professional and there was no hate between us,” stated Jack. “He’s fresh and he wants it; he’s not at the back end of his career, and he’s hungry. He seemed like a confident guy, but you’ve got to be confident if you’re getting in and fighting for a world title. If you’re not confident in your own abilities then you might as well hang the gloves up.

“Bilal’s a good fighter. He’s been around, has fought world level guys and he’s no mug. He’s got all those boxes ticked. It’s going to be a difficult fight but I believe I’ll get on top of him and probably get a stoppage.

“I believe I’ll outbox him from the beginning; he’s quite square on and open down the middle. I’ll box him at first, start catching him and when he’s there to be hit, turn the power up and get the stoppage.

“I just can’t wait, I’ve sold hundreds of tickets and the atmosphere is going to be amazing. Time seems to be going slow but it’ll be here before I know it. I’m excited and nervous, a bit of both, if anyone says they don’t get nervous, they’re full of ****! I need those nerves though to get me switched on and alert, and I’ll be ready to bring home that world title.”

Fight Academy present an evening of world title fight action at Bolton White’s Hotel on November 26. Topping the bill are England’s Jack Massey and Belgium’s Bilal Laggoune contesting the vacant International Boxing Organisation (IBO) World Cruiserweight Title.

Chief support sees England’s Mark Jeffers and Belgium’s Michel Garcia fight for the vacant WBO Global Super Middleweight Title, and Scotland’s Nathaniel Collins defending the Commonwealth Featherweight Title versus South Africa’s Thembani Mbangatha.

Also appearing on the undercard are Fleetwood’s Dan Catlin; London’s Harry Mullins; Zak Miller and Charlie Schofield from Ashton under Lyne; Manchester’s Josh Holmes and Billy Deniz, and Bolton’s Khaleel Madjid.

Mark Jeffers vs. Michel Garcia

Bolton’s Whites Hotel, England – 26 November 2021

Michael Jennings knows a thing or two about being at the top of world boxing. So, it’s worth taking note when he predicts a huge future for his fighter, Mark Jeffers, ahead of the biggest fight of his career.

Jeffers takes on Belgium’s Michel Garcia on November 26 for the World Boxing Organisation (WBO) Global Super-middleweight Title at Bolton’s Whites Hotel, with all the action broadcast live by exciting new boxing channel, Fightzone. The contest is one of the co-chief support bouts to Jack Massey’s IBO World Cruiserweight Title fight against another Belgian, Bilal Laggoune.

Subscribe to Fightzone for great weekly boxing – just £4.99 a month (use code ‘boxen247’)

Mark’s trainer, Jennings, had his own extremely successful career during the noughties. From Chorley – the same as Jeffers – Michael lost just three times in 39 fights and was the British, and WBU World Welterweight Champion. Known for his fantastic stamina, Jennings is maybe best remembered for challenging one of the boxing greats – Miguel Cotto – in 2009, losing in five rounds.

Ahead of the big fight between Jeffers and Garcia – the Mancunian breaks down both men and explains why he believes the WBO Global belt will find itself around the waist of the UK fighter.

“Michel looks quite strong, is a decent pressure fighter and he’ll definitely come for a fight,” said Jennings. “He can dig too, so Mark needs to be switched on from round one.

“I’m pleased though that Garcia will come to fight. So far, Mark’s been in with kids that will tuck up, but he’s also had some hard fights too like Anthony Fox, to see what he’s all about. The kids that he’s fighting now will be coming to win and that will suit Mark down to the ground, and he’ll start stopping a few of them.

“Mark is so dedicated, has really good movement, fast hands and good strength. For a kid his age, his sparring is unbelievable. On fight night, as long as everything is one hundred per cent, he’s going to properly shine and standout.

“He’s only young and not fully developed. He probably won’t even get his man strength until he’s 25 but, skills-wise, if you compare him to me at the same age, he’s twice as good! If everything goes to plan, and he keeps pushing forwards and gets the right fights, he’ll do extremely well in the game.

“I’d like to see him get in the mix at British level but he’s still got plenty of time. When he starts winning titles, we want him to be able to keep them. We want to be the best in that division. When he is ready to fight for the British Title we want him to be someone that no one can beat.

“I’m confident about this fight. I’m not over-confident because it only takes one shot, but when you break both fighters down, Mark has a lot more positives.”

Mark Jeffers vs. Michel Garcia

Bolton White’s Hotel, Bolton, England – 26 November 2021

Mark Jeffers is predicting an aggressive performance from Michel Garcia when they meet for the World Boxing Organisation (WBO) Global Super-middleweight Title on November 26, and says that will suit him – and the fans – down to the ground.

The Chorley fighter meets Garcia (both pictured) as chief support to Jack Massey’s IBO World Cruiserweight Title tilt with Bilal Laggoune at Bolton White’s Hotel, with all the action broadcast live by Fightzone.

Subscribe to Fightzone for great weekly boxing – just £4.99 a month (use code ‘boxen247’)

Jeffers has done everything right so far since turning pro in 2016 and – at just 23 – many are predicting the fledgling fighter has the ability to go all the way to the top. Trained by former world title challenger, Michael Jennings, the Central Area Champion is unbeaten at 13-0, with four KOs, and has looked impressive in getting to that ‘bakers dozen’ of wins.

Garcia is sure to test Jeffers ‘top prospect’ credentials though. The Belgian has more experience, having lost just once in 17 contests, with that single defeat coming early in his career. At 33, Michel undoubtedly has his ‘man strength’ and being the shorter fighter will look to maraud forward and get inside on his younger opponent. If that is the case, the Brit says an early night could be on the cards.

“I’ve seen very little of him, just a round or two. I just focus on what I’m going to do,” explained Mark. “He’s a fair bit shorter than me though and won’t be keeping it long, so I expect him to come forward and let the shots go.

“I’m happy to meet him the middle, and I don’t mind boxing him either. Whatever he does, I’ll be that bit better than him.

Mark Jeffers: He might get taken out! | Boxen247.com (Kristian von Sponneck)

“I really do believe it’s going to be a good fight, he’s not going to muck around. He’ll try and get inside but when he does he’ll get caught with some big uppercuts and might get taken out. He’s got a good record, is going to be confident and will come and give it a go and that will suit me one hundred per cent.

“I want to win this belt, my first international title because the main thing is about getting up the rankings. If I get the belt and a top 15 ranking with the WBO, that gets my name out there.

“I just can’t wait for fight night now. Bolton is just 20 minutes from me and I’ve sold hundreds of tickets for this. It’s going to be mad. Jack [Massey] has sold loads too, so the atmosphere will be amazing. I can’t wait to step up and perform.”

Jack Massey vs. Bilal Laggoune

Bolton Whites Hotel, Bolton, England 26/11/21

IBO World Cruiserweight Title

If Jack Massey can win the International Boxing Organisation (IBO) World Cruiserweight Title on Friday November 26, he’ll find himself in excellent company.

Massey and Belgium’s Bilal Laggoune meet for the vacant belt at Bolton Whites Hotel – live on Fightzone – with the winner the latest in a long line of illustrious names to have held the title. Boxing legends including James Toney and Tommy Hearns (pictured) are both previous holders, as well as other notable names including Brits Carl Thompson and Ola Afolabi, and Poland’s Tomasz Adamek.

Subscribe to Fightzone for great weekly boxing – just £4.99 a month (use code ‘boxen247’)

Massey versus Laggoune is a fight that has got fans talking and trade insiders buzzing – with many unable to call a winner.

Jack has lost just once in 19 outings, a debatable 2019 British Title defeat to highly touted Londoner, Richard Riakporhe. Since then, ‘One Smack’ has put together a brace of wins, including picking up the International Boxing Federation (IBF) European belt with a stoppage victory in his last fight in July.

Laggoune though will be the Brit’s biggest challenge to date. Also aged 28, Laggoune has fought ten more times than Massey – with just two reverses in 29 bouts – and been in with capable operators. The Belgian also has heavy hands, having knocked out 14 men in the opposite corner, and is coming in off the back of a short-notice ‘away from home’ decision loss to top-rated Tommy McCarthy for the European Title in October last year.

Ahead of the big night of boxing, Fight Academy promoter Dennis Hobson says this is a fantastic opportunity for Jack to stake his claim on the world scene but he will need to be at his very best to come out on top.

“When you look at the names who’ve won this title, some of them have created absolute legacies in the sport,” stated Dennis. “So, to be on the same page as them is a fantastic achievement; nice company to be in. Jack left Queesnsberry [Promotions] a bit disillusioned with the game and within two weeks of coming with us he won the IBF European Title and is now in for a world title straight away. Things like this just don’t happen, there’s been a lot of hard work behind the scenes. We put our money where our mouth is, and we’re good at getting our fighters opportunities. If it was easy, everybody would be doing it!

“This is a platform for both Jack and Laggoune to move into some mega fights. He looks the part does Jack, and he’s exciting to watch. It’s tough fight but so it should be, it’s a world title fight. You don’t just get given these belts, you have to earn them. He’s in with a kid who’s beatable but if he’s not up to it then he’ll get found out. We believe in Jack, he’s not in with Floyd Mayweather but has got a very credible opponent who will be as determined as Jack to become a world champ. You don’t win an opportunity like this without having to dig deep, but we believe Jack has it in him to do that.”

Fight Academy’s Jack Massey gets the chance of a lifetime on November 26 when he faces Bilal Laggoune for the International Boxing Organisation (IBO) World Cruiserweight Title, at Bolton White’s Hotel – live on Fightzone.

This is a massive opportunity for both men. The IBO version of the world title has previously been held by top fighters including Antonia Tarver, Tommy Hearns, James Toney, Mairis Briedis and Marco Huck – and the winner can expect to be involved in huge unification contests further down the line.

Massey has lost just once in 19 fights – a contentious British Title defeat to the highly touted Londoner, Richard Riakporhe, in 2019. Since then, ‘One Smack’ Jack has put together a brace of wins, including picking up the International Boxing Federation (IBF) European belt in his last fight in July.

Laggoune represents the Brit’s biggest challenge to date. The same age as Massey, 28, Laggoune has fought ten more times than his counterpart – with just two reverses in 29 bouts – and been in with decent operators. The Belgian also has heavy hands, having knocked out 14 men in the opposite corner, and is coming in off the back of a debatable ‘away from home’ decision loss to top-rated Tommy McCarthy for the European Title in October last year.

Massey knows this is a fabulous opportunity provided by his Fight Academy promotional team, with a win meaning he leapfrogs his domestic rivals onto the world scene.

“I’ve had a little look at him and he’s a very good opponent. I saw him box McCarthy and the decision was a bit ‘hit and miss’, it was very close. He’s excellent opposition and this can only be a good fight.

“He’s definitely the best I’ve faced so far but, with the world title on the line, I’m training harder than I ever have before and believe I’ll go out and do a proper job on him. This is why I’m boxing and I intend to make a big statement.

“It would be amazing to win the IBO belt. When you look at the people that have held [a version of] it over the years like Anthony Joshua, Usyk has just won it from Joshua, Klitschko, Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather – the list goes on for ever. All the big names at different weights have fought for it, and it’s a great title to have.

“It would be absolutely massive to win it; it would open up some huge doors and could lead to unification fights against some big names. The night will be amazing, headlining on Fightzone, we’ll sell the place out and the atmosphere will be incredible.”

Also appearing on the undercard are London’s Harry Mullins; Zak Miller from Ashton under Lyne; Manchester’s Josh Holmes and Billy Deniz; Bolton’s Khaleel Madjid, and Salford’s Jake Andrews.

Tomas Salek & Tomas Bezvoda Promising Trouble In Sheffield On Friday

Boxen247.com Boxing News Ali vs. Salek, Ciaran McVarnock, Conah Walker, Dan Catlin, Fightzone, Jack Fay, Josh Holmes, Kash Ali, Levi Ferguson, Mark Jeffers, Reece Farnhill, Tomas Bezvoda, Tomas Salek, Zak Miller 0

Tomas Salek & Tomas Bezvoda Promising Trouble In Sheffield On Friday | Boxen247.com

KASH ALI vs. TOMAS SALEK

Sheffield Arena this Friday 28/5/21

Czech pair Tomas Salek (pictured) and Tomas Bezvoda have warned home fans and Fightzone viewers that they are coming to the UK to win when they appear at Sheffield Arena this Friday (May 28).

The East Europeans are both in tough fights but – equally – the pair also come into their respective contests in good form.

Salek will face home fighter Kash Ali for the vacant International Boxing Federation (IBF) European Heavyweight Title, with the winner set to rise into the top 20 of the IBF’s world rankings. Rotherham’s Ali has a solitary disqualification loss on his 19 fight record and, after making noticeable progress under the tutelage of trainer Richard Towers, is set for the biggest test of his career to date.

Salek doesn’t take a backward step and can whack, evidenced by his 13 KO wins. The 22-year-old has tasted defeat just twice in 17 contests and, with 21 big KOs between them, Ali versus Salek promises to be dynamite.

“I’ve seen three of his fights,” explained Salek. “He’s a good boxer but not unbeatable. I expect a hard fight with a lot of dangerous combinations but I’m ready for the scheduled 10 rounds. I’m going to do everything for a win and I will try to win by KO.

“I’m looking forward to fighting in UK, it will be my first time. Ali is the home fighter so I can’t depend on a points win. I’m maybe not the favourite but I know I’m a better boxer than Ali and it’s the reason why I accepted this challenge. I’m not technical but I’m strong and in good shape.

“It’s really important for me to win this fight and this title. This is a respected belt and with a win I can be in the IBF ratings and only a few steps away from even bigger fights.”

Further down the card, Bezvoda will face the challenge of Mark Jeffers, who has been hailed as a nailed-on future super middleweight star. The Chorley fighter, who turned over at 18, has raced to 11-0 as a pro, and also claimed the Central Area crown in his last fight.

Bezvoda is very well regarded on the British boxing circuit, known for not giving anyone an easy night and capable of causing an upset. The experienced 33-year-old, who has nine wins (six KOs) from 23 contests, has only failed to hear the final bell once and faces Jeffers on the back of a KO win in February.

“I’ve seen his fights on video; he’s tall and looks strong. It will be a tough fight,” said Bezvoda. “I’ve lost twice before in the UK, they are always really hard matches but I’m ready for this. I’ve had enough time for preparation and will do everything to win!

“For my TKO loss, I accepted the fight only a few days before and wasn’t really in shape. Now it will be a completely different match – the fight is scheduled for 8 rounds and I’ll be ready for it. I´ve been boxing for about 17 years and have a lot of amateur experience.

“I think I have something to show and that you will like my style. I want to win and you will see that in the fight.”

Chief support on this Fight Academy card comes in the form of a Midlands Area Title fight with Wolverhampton’s Conah Walker and Walsall’s Levi Ferguson going head-to-head for the vacant crown. A well-matched affair – Conah has eight wins and a draw, with two KOs; Ferguson has been only beaten once in six – this 10-rounder promises to be keenly contested as both look to pick up their first belt.

The undercard will also feature Belfast’s Ciaran McVarnock, 10-0-1 (3), who makes a two-year ring return after taking time out from the sport to support partner Nicole, who has had her own fight with cystic fibrosis.

Also on the bill are a trio of undefeated Lancashire fighters – Josh Holmes 5-0, Dan Catlin 5-0 (2), and Zak Miller 3-0 (1); whilst Burnley’s Reece Farnhill and Blackburn’s Jack Fay will take their first steps in a professional ring.

ZAK MILLER vs. JAHFIBUS FAURE

Sheffield Arena, Sheffield, England 28/5/21

Zak Miller stole the show last time he fought in Sheffield. In December last year, on the UK’s first ever drive-in boxing show (put together by Dennis Hobson and Steve Crump), Miller blitzed the usually very durable journeyman, Michael Horabin, in less than a round to move to 3-0 (1) and earn himself a Fight Academy contract.

Next up for Zak, 24, is another ‘Steel City’ outing on the undercard of a great evening of boxing, topped by Kash Ali‘s tilt at the IBF European Heavyweight Title against Czech fighter Tomas Salek, live on Fightzone.

With just a solitary disqualification loss on his 19 fight record, Ali is ready to move onto the next level against Salek in his hardest test to date. The East European doesn’t stop coming forward … and he can hit! The 22-year-old has tasted defeat just twice in 17 contests and, with 21 big KOs between them, this is a heavyweight clash not to miss!

“He can whack, and I know I have knockout power,” said Ali. “It’s going to be a case of whoever lands first will get the KO – and I can promise you it’ll be me!

KASH ALI vs. TOMAS SALEK

Sheffield Arena Car Park 28/5/21

IBF Heavyweight European Championship

Fightzone viewers get explosive heavyweight action on Friday May 28, live from Sheffield Arena Car Park, as Rotherham’s Kash Ali seeks to become the IBF European Champion when he clashes with Czech Tomas Salek for the vacant title.

With a solitary disqualification loss on his 19 fight record, Ali is ready to step up against the East European and claim a belt that will push him up the world rankings. Salek is a come-forward banger, who has tasted defeat just twice in 17 contests and, with 21 big KOs between them, this promises to be a ‘don’t blink’ affair.“ He can whack, and I know I have knockout power,” said Ali. “It’s going to be a case of whoever lands first will get the KO – and I can promise you it’ll be me!

“Salek is a big lump and he’s got a good record. He can obviously punch very hard but my boxing ability will get me through this, and I’ll prove that on the night. He’s going to come forward and try to knock me out. With both of us being hitters, anything can happen so it’s going to be a great one for the fans.”

The pick of the undercard sees a return to action for hot, undefeated middleweight prospect, Mark Jeffers 11-0 (3), who takes on well-regarded Czech fighter Tomas Bezvoda, 9-14 (6) in a decent test. Belfast’s Ciaran McVarnock, 10-0-1 (3), will also make a two-year ring return after taking time out from the sport to support partner Nicole, who has had her own fight with cystic fibrosis.

Promoter, Dennis Hobson said: “Everyone loves a good heavyweight fight, and I believe this will be absolutely explosive. We know that Salek has trained hard and is confident, he is a huge puncher and extremely dangerous. At Fight Academy we have serious belief that Kash can make a mark on the world scene of heavyweight boxing, but this could be a real banana skin for him, he’s going to need to be on top of his game.”

Salek is a come-forward banger, who has tasted defeat just twice in 17 contests and, with 21 big KOs between them, this promises to be a ‘don’t blink’ affair.

Kash Ali, said: “He can whack, and I know I have knockout power. I think this is going to be a case of whoever lands first will get the KO – and I can promise you it’ll be me!”

Chief support comes in the form of a Midlands Area Title fight with Wolverhampton’s Conah Walker and Walsall’s Levi Ferguson going head-to-head for the vacant crown.

“An Area Title is a fantastic achievement for any boxer,” said promoter Hobson, “I’d love to have one sitting on my mantlepiece! I’ve put on lots of Area contests over the years and you see how much it means to the boxers. This is a real 50-50 fight, both boxers will give it their all to come out on top, and it won’t fail to be great viewing.”

Manager Kevin Maree – who guides Jeffers, McVarnock, Holmes, Catlin, Miller, Farnhill and Fay – stated: “In these crazy times, there aren’t many managers getting their fighters out and I can’t thank Dennis, and partners, enough that my guys are getting showcased.

“Dennis does his events right and they’re always exciting events. A few of my fighters have been signed by Dennis after appearing on his December show, and I’ve said to my other boxers ‘now it’s your time to shine, go out and impress Dennis and earn yourself a contract.”
