WBC Asia Champion Neeraj Goyat Co-Headlines Let Battle Commence IV on the 29th May – Live on FITE TV
Indian Star Neeraj Goyat, who was set to fight Amir Khan in 2019 makes his UK Debut in Aberdeen
Seis veces, Campeón del Mundo de cinco divisiones y Promotor Lee Mcallister announced that he and World Boxing Council (CMB) Asia Welterweight Champion Neeraj Goyal will co-headline LET BATTLE COMMENCE IV, that takes place on the 29th May 2021 and broadcast live on FITE TV, así como otros canales lineales y digitales a nivel mundial.
Reigning WBC Asia Champion Goyat is probably the best known Indian boxer by fans of the pugilistic arts, following the announcement back in 2019 that he was to face Amir Khan in a mega fight in Saudi Arabia, unfortunately prior to the much anticipated showdown, Goyat was seriously injured in a car crash and had to pull out, Khan fought Australia’s Billy Dib.
Goyat fully recovered from his injuries and immediately got back to winning ways, in his most recent contest, that took place at the Majestic Pride Ship, Panjim, India back in March this year Goyat knocked-out sandeep kumar after just 34 seconds of the fourth round.
On making the announcement McAllister said, “I’m a big fan of Neeraj.
“We had planned to bring him to the UK back in 2019, but when the opportunity to fight Amir was put on the table I just tore up the contract. Fighting Amir on an internationally broadcast event was a huge opportunity for Neeraj and I wasn’t going to stand in the way.
“To say I was gutted the fight didn’t happen is an understatement as the fans world-wide would have seen just how talented Neeraj is.
“So here we are two years later and finally we are going to have Neeraj fight on one of our shows and unlike when we were originally bringing him over, now our events are televised, so finally fans worldwide will get to see just what an immense talent he is.”
In mid-March 2020, like all sporting events, Professional Boxing shows world-wide were cancelled, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
UK Government restrictions were relaxed in July 2020 so that sporting events could resume, however with the proviso that no spectators would be allowed to attend. With this in mind McAllister joined forces with the British & Autoridad Irlandesa de Boxeo (BIBA) to create a series of Professional Boxing events that take place ‘Behind Closed Doors’.
La toma de posesión QUE COMIENCE LA BATALLA evento, that took place behind closed doors at the Northern Hotel in Aberdeen on Saturday 18th July 2020, was headlined by longtime WBO Featherweight King Scott Harrison versus PBC International Champion Los compañeros Paul. The main support featured the professional debut of ten time Kickboxing World Champion Caitlin Foran.
QUE COMIENCE LA BATALLA II, took place on Friday 4th September 2020 and was headlined by PBC & WBU International Champion Nathan Beattie versus UK based Nicaraguan Julio Bendana. The undercard featured no less than three female contests, including two of the UK’s top female amateur boxers, Hollie Towl y Eleanor Coulson, making their professional debuts, this event also took place behind closed doors in Aberdeen.
The third edition, QUE COMIENCE LA BATALLA – LAS LEONAS, that takes place on Saturday 24th April 2021 está listo para ingresar a los libros de récords como el primer evento de boxeo profesional femenino que tendrá lugar no solo en el Reino Unido sino también el primero en Europa.
