BURNETT: ADAM BOOTH HAS THE PLAN TO BEAT HASKINS
Belfast talent putting faith in trainer to take IBF World title
SAN DIEGO- (Juny 5, 2017)-Ryan Burnett believes he has the perfect man in his corner in Adam Booth to get the gameplan right to take the IBF World Bantamweight title from Lee Haskins when they clash at the SSE Arena Belfast on Saturday June 10, live on AWE–A Wealth of Entertainment at 3 PM ET / 12 PM ET
Burnett faces the Bristol ace in his first World title shot and it’s a welcome return to his hometown after over three and a half years on the road.
Burnett’s last outing in Belfast in November 2014 was his first fight with Booth and the pair have moved seamlessly to 16-0 and on the brink of World glory as their partnership has blossomed in Booth’s Surrey gym.
Booth has been in the corner for many World title fights with David Haye and Burnett feels that having those expertise behind him can be the difference.
“Adam believes I am ready for it and he’s a man who has been there and done it,” said Burnett. “Adam knows how to put a game plan together to beat a southpaw, and I have every faith in Adam. If I am calm, relaxed and I deliver what Adam tells me to do on the night, I’ll win that belt.
“I’m always learning with every fight and every day in the gym with Adam. People were saying a year ago that I was ready for a World title shot so that must mean I am even better placed for it now. Adam makes the decisions of what the right move is for me.
“Adam has given me intelligence on what I actually have to do. All the skills are there, but he’s teaching me how to control it. That’s what we work on every day – understanding what you have to do and how you have to do it.
“I needed to sit back, peel away the layers and understand what I am doing. Adam’s work speaks for itself. He’s been in the sport for a long time and he’s a well-respected coach. I’ve come to the gym willing to listen and learn because I know that Adam has so much knowledge to give, so if Adam says jump, I say how high.”
Burnett challenges Haskins on a huge night of action in Belfast where Paul Hyland Jr faces Adam Dingsdale for his first pro title, with the IBF European Lightweight strap on the line.
An exciting undercard features a the Cruiserweight debut of Mike Perez, Ian Tims and Luke Watkins meeting for the Irish Cruiserweight title and local favourites James Tennyson, Paddy Gallagher, Matthew Wilton, Feargal McCrory and Tyrone McCullagh.

Up Close and Personal With Liverpool’s Rising Prospect Dayle Gallagher
Interview by Gianluca Di Caro.
Foto: Team Gallagher
The subject of this interview is Dayle Gallagher, who is proving to be one of the most exciting young prospects to emerge on the Merseyside boxing scene over the past few years.
On Friday March 3rd Dayle is set to compete in his toughest fight to date, a six rounder at the Hanger 34 Club in Liverpool, against Belfast’s Michael Kelly, a proven Championship campaigner, who in the past year or so has fought France’s Mohamed Larabi for the WBF International title and more recently Scotland’s Lee McAllister for the WBF Inter-Continental belt, as well as competed on huge televised events in Russia and Sweden.
Unbeaten in four outings to date, two by early stoppages, against Alekseis Nikitenko, al maig 2015 and Jak Johnson in December 2016, and two by solid points decision, Marty Kayes in April 2016 and Phil Townley in June the same year, Dayle has already caught the eye of some of the biggest names in the sport, including two time World Champion Amir Khan.
In fact courtesy of Mr Khan and his team, Dayle firmly earned his place in the History books of the sport, as the very first winner of a Professional Boxing contest in Pakistan, following his excellent win over Belfast’s Phil Townley back in June last year.
More on that later, as right now I think its time to get on with the interview.
Gianluca
Thank you for talking with me today Dayle, whilst obviously this interview is regarding your professional career, especially the upcoming fight against Michael Kelly on March 3rd, I would like to start the interview off with you telling the readers a little about your non-professional boxing, especially your amateur career, which I have understand started out with a victory over one of the top guys in the division at that time.
Dayle
I started boxing at the age of 14, after training for over a year I had a few inter-club events before having my first amateur bout which was on short notice to represent Liverpool my home city, which was against the Welsh number one at the time in his home city Wrexham.
I always remember my coach saying no one wants to fight this lad so go knock him out, and in the second round after putting him down twice already the referee had no choice to stop it.
I was told by numerous of people I had a bright future in the sport but my focus at the time was to become a professional football player which ended in a real bad injury and after 18 months of physio and rehabilitation on my injury.
I finally got back into boxing for fitness and immediately fell back in love with the sport, after just a few months of training I took a white-collar fight in Newcastle.
After winning that I got loads of good feedback and realised I need to start taking this serious and see how far I can go in the sport, I won Northern area, British and European titles on the unlicensed scene then realised I need to turn to the professional side of the game.
Gianluca
Your pro career got off to a flying start, with a stoppage victory over Latvian Aleksejs Nikitenko, firstly how did it feel boxing in the professional ranks for the first time and secondly can you give your view of the fight please?
Dayle
Even though I had been in the ring plenty of times before, my professional debut had me more nervous then any other fight, but the feeling couldn’t of been better.
The fight didn’t last long about 1 minute I think before the referee had to interfere and call a halt to the fight which led to my first win in the professional ranks and is a day I will never forget.
Gianluca
It was almost a year before you were back in the ring, against Marty Kayes back in April last year, but even with such a long time between fights you were in top form, beating Marty on points. How did you manage to keep motivated during this time and again please give the readers your view of the fight?
Dayle
It was very hard because I was going through a lot of complications with my promoter at the time and couldn’t fight and I thought I might never fight again, but after a long period out, my brother helped me and got me a fight.
I knew a lot about Marty and knew it wouldn’t be easy knowing how experienced he was, but I wanted to show everyone that even with all this time out how good I can be and got the win and felt like I’d never had time out of the ring.
Gianluca
Your next fight, against Phil Townley, came just a few months later and what’s more was overseas on an historic event, the first Pro Boxing event ever to take place in Pakistan. Can you please tell the readers firstly how this came about and also tell the readers not just about the fight but also the whole experience?
Dayle
I didn’t really believe it was true when I first found out about Pakistan. I had just come back from my holiday and next minute am on the phone to Amir Khan’s uncle about a possible fight in Pakistan.
Even though I knew I wasn’t at my fittest or at my preferred weight I couldn’t miss out on the opportunity so I stepped up two weight classes just for the opportunity.
Within a couple of hours of the fight getting offered to me I was in Bolton at the Amir Khan Academy filling out all my paper work and my visa and literally three days later was on a plane going to fight in Pakistan.
On arriving in Pakistan I was treated like royalty, my bags where collected and carried for me. I was greeted by the Pakistan Army and Police and escorted to my hotel.
I could never thank the people enough from Pakistan on how they made my time there so welcome, it’s a great country with great people even when I fought they where screaming my name, so much so that I thought I was back in Liverpool with a home crowd.
It was one of my most amazing experiences of my life and one that I will have for the rest of my life as I made history as the very first professional boxer to fight and win on Pakistan soil.
Gianluca
Your fourth fight, against Jak Johnson back in December and on home turf once more, was both dramatic and I would expect anti-climatic for you. I was there so know all that occurred but could you enlighten the readers about the dramas that unfolded that night from your view please?
Dayle
If you’ve seen the whole fight it looks like I wasn’t too happy at the end but that’s because am a fighter and all I want to do is fight.
I trained so hard and felt in the best shape of my life so when the fight was over In 30 seconds it annoyed me but that’s just something I have to deal with its boxing and fights can be over with one shot.
After watching it back I was happy with my performance and I’m blessed with punching power that can pop someone’s shoulder out of its socket with one shot.
Gianluca
Al 3rd March you’ll be in action once more at the Hanger 34 a Liverpool, where you are due to face Ireland’s Michael Kelly. Do you know much about Michael and his fighting style and also how do you see this fight panning out?
Dayle
I know about the people he’s fought and what he’s achieved I know it will be a tough fight but that’s why my team and me asked for the fight.
I don’t watch my opponents on old fights because they could turn up an box a completely different fight so I like to figure them out when am in there.
I think it will be an entertaining fight for people to watch, but I see it ending with a knockout, if I hit anybody at welterweight with one of my power shots in eight-ounce gloves I will be shocked to see anybody still standing there in front of me.
Gianluca
So out of the fights you’ve had to date, whether pro or not, which has been your favourite and why?
Dayle
My favourite has to be Pakistan making history and challenging myself, it was a big risk stepping up two weight divisions but I like a challenge and this is why I’m in this fight game, and also boxing in front of two time World Champion Amir Khan and getting great feedback from him, you can’t ask for anything better than that.
Gianluca
How would you describe your fighting style?
Dayle
My fighting style I believe is different to the average British style boxer which I think makes me stand out more, I’m a counter fighter with power, I’m a southpaw and I know I can be a nightmare for any boxer out there on the boxing circuit.
Gianluca
Should you be successful on the 3rd March, you will be unbeaten in five, whilst perhaps it’s still a bit early to be thinking of Championship accolades, I’m sure that you must have been thinking about opportunities like that already, as such could you please outline your future plans for the readers.
Dayle
I’m in the sport to win titles, it’s a dream of mine that I know I can achieve and when the opportunity comes I will take it.
I will keep climbing the ladder winning fights and when my team think the time is right, I will get my title shot and I will become Champion.
Gianluca
I’m sure you must have been an avid watcher of pro boxing even as a youngster, as such my next question is which fighters, past or present, have had the most influence on you and your career?
Dayle
Growing up from a young age I used to watch videos of Roy Jones Jr, I love his cockiness and confidence.
I always wanted to be an entertainer and give people the feeling I had when watching him.
My favourite fighters that I like to watch a lot of now is Floyd Mayweather, Adrian Broner, Chris Eubank Jr and Errol Spence Jr, these are the type of fighters I like to take a lot from and try to make into my own style.
Gianluca
Moving away from the fights etc., who are the main people that make up Team Gallagher?
Dayle
Even though I’m the one who gets in there to fight I couldn’t do it without my team, from my brother Kyle who prepares me for every fight, to all my teammates at engine room.
It’s not just my team though; my sponsors also help me to get ready for fight night, Goodness Grill, who prepares my food, which help me with my diets. Spartan Dynamic who train me for my strength and conditioning and get me in great shape and make me feel stronger than ever.
James Harris who helps me with everything behind the scenes like interviews.
My friends my family and my girlfriend these all help me behind the scenes when I’m moody from weight cutting and preparing for fight night.
But the most important people on my team are the people who believe in my dream and buy tickets off me for my fights, because what a lot of people don’t realise without ticket sales fights can’t happen and I will always be thankful to every last person who buys a ticket from me!
Gianluca
Where do you train and what is your training schedule?
Dayle
I train in Engine Room Boxing Club, Sports Direct Fitness and Spartan Dynamic, my normal routine for fight night is 6sóc I wake up have a banana then straight to Sports Direct Fitness for my running.
I like to get between 4-6 miles in every morning then I will do a bit of bag work and get a sauna, then I will go home and rest then at 10:30sóc depending on which day Dilluns, Dimecres, Divendres I will be at Engine Room until at least Midday working on my boxing.
Dimarts i Dijous I will be at Spartan Dynamic until Midday working on my strength and conditioning, then I will go and pick up freshly prepared meals from Goodness Grill and then have work from 2:30pm until 9:30pm.
It’s a hard routine to maintain but for my dream it’s all worth it.
Gianluca
What would you say your favourite part of training is?
Dayle
I don’t really have a favourite part of training; my favourite part is probably getting told I’m finished because it’s really hard work.
It’s an addiction training that I couldn’t go without, but if I had to choose one thing it would probably be sparring. It’s the closest thing to fighting and there’s nothing better than landing devastating punches on opponents.
Gianluca
Outside boxing, what is your favourite sport?
Dayle
Outside of boxing my favourite sport is football, I love to watch my team Everton but any game in general I will just watch for entertainment
Gianluca
Besides sport how else do you relax outside boxing?
Dayle
Boxing is constantly on my brain when I have spare time I watch boxing videos or talk about it to people who don’t really care but it’s in my blood and I just can’t help it
Gianluca
These days Social Media is very much an important tool for professional sports people; do you utilize Social Media to engage with your fans?
Dayle
I find social media is very important these days for professional athletes and I always interact with fans, because anybody who takes time to ask me anything about my career deserves a reply, I’m not a big name in the sport yet so to have people asking me questions about my boxing really means a lot to me.
Gianluca
Finally is there anything you want to say to your fans?
Dayle
Thank you to everyone who follows my career and believes in me it won’t be long until I’m at the top, gràcies.

Bellator 173: McGeary vs. els camps
Hailing from Andover, Anglaterra, the 34-year-old Liam McGeary (11-1) will make the short trek up to Northern Ireland’s capital for the first time in his career, where he will once again compete in a main event. The former Bellator MMA light heavyweight champion will enter the cage for the 10thtime under the Scott Coker-led promotion, where he has posted an 8-1 record with seven finishes. Following an 11-fight winning streak to begin his professional career, McGeary finally experienced the sour taste of defeat, quan Phil Davis wrestled the title away from him at Bellator 163. McGeary has consistently proven to be one of the most dangerous strikers and submission artists in the 205-pound division, finishing his victim in 10 de 11 career wins, including eight in the opening frame. Much like the “RMS Titanic,” which was built in Belfast, McGeary hopes to sink Fields when the two take center stage inside The SSE Arena on Febrer 24.
A native of Dublin, Irlanda, Chris Fields (11-7-1) will also have a short trek to Belfast when he enters the cage on Febrer 24. “The Housewives’ Choice” will be making his Bellator MMA debut, following nine years under the direction of local promotions, including three appearances under European powerhouse BAMMA. After competing at middleweight in 2015, the 33-year-old Fields returned to the light heavyweight division, recording a first round submission victory over Dan Konecke at BAMMA 24. Fields has tallied finishes in each of his 11 career wins, making him one of the most menacing opponents for anyone standing in his way. Now the SBG Ireland product will look to make a splash in his first fight with Bellator MMA, as he prepares for the former division kingpin.
Hailing from nearby Straban, Irlanda, el jugador de 20 anys d'edat, James Gallagher (5-0) is one of the brightest stars in all “The Emerald Island.” At age 15, “The Strabanimal” moved away from home to join Coach John Kavanagh at Straight Blast Gym (SBG), where he now trains alongside the best fighters in the country including Connor McGregor. Having made his Bellator debut in London this past July in London, Gallagher followed up in December with a submission victory over Anthony Taylor in front of a raucous home crowd at the 3Arena in Dublin. Gallagher now takes on Kirill Medvedovsky (7-3) in the co-main event of the evening.
Another top prospect from the famed SBG powerhouse, Sinead Kavanagh (4-0) returns to the Bellator cage against 32-year-old Parisian Iona Razafiarison (1-1, 1 NC) in a 140-pound catchweight matchup “KO” Kavanagh, who fights out of nearby Dublin Ireland will no doubt be looking to collect her third knockout on Febrer 24.
BAMMA 28: Parke Vs. Redmond
“Stormin” Norman Parke (22-5-1) from Bushmills, Antrim is no stranger to BAMMA events, as he has been spotted numerous times cornering team mates as part of the Next Gen Northern Ireland fight team. One of Europe’s most sought after free agents prior to putting pen to paper with BAMMA, Parke now goes in pursuit of the coveted BAMMA World Lightweight title.
Paul “Redser” Redmond (11-6) landed a victorious homecoming of his own at BAMMA 26, as Redser took out the double tough Chris “The Menace” Stringer to claim the adulation of his hometown support. Redmond now steps into one of the biggest fights ever announced in Ireland, as he takes on Parke in this hugely anticipated match up.

Informe Lluita: Tolan Assegura irlandès Títol internacional, Magee Jr i Fitzsimmons veritablement sensacional a Belfast
Informe Lluita: Gianluca (Riu) Di Caro
Fotos: Paul Green
La setmana passada em vaig trobar volant a través del Mar d'Irlanda a Belfast per primera Comissió de Boxa de Malta (MBC) sancionada esdeveniment professional a la província, L'esdeveniment de Chuck Tolan Fianna Promotions Ruaille Buaille 'i' mare meva i ben valia la pena.
Però abans d'entrar en la boxa, He de dir que és un gran ciutat i la gent, Em van fer molt benvinguts i els fans a la nit, a la increïble Complex Devenish, van ser simplement increïble i realment ho va fer especial, Estic segur que l'ambient increïble i l'energia que generen han d'haver realment aixecat els combatents d'origen.
Encapçalant l'esdeveniment veure molt propi Tommy de Belfast 'El Tigre' company desafiament Tolan Belfast noi Phil Townley per a la presa de possessió del títol de pes mitjà irlandès Internacional.
La cursa de Tommy ha dut a terme una mica d'un ressorgiment en els últims dotze mesos més o menys, després d'una ratxa de pèrdues que es remunta a 2011 El boxejador irlandès ha estat posant en algunes grans actuacions.
Jo sentia que ell no va tenir la sort d'obtenir almenys un empat contra George Hillyard l'agost de l'any passat, però potser això li esperonat quan pujava contra Matt Scriven només tres mesos més tard i una altra contra Rastislav Frano al febrer.
Aquestes victòries contra Scriven i Frano estableixen Tommy en curs per a la seva primera baralla titular, així com l'oportunitat pel títol, i Tommy no deixava res a l'atzar.
Just des del principi els dos protagonistes es va dedicar als seus negocis a un ritme més alt, Townley sent particularment contundent ve cap endavant, que al principi posar Tolan al peu del darrere.
A meitat de la ronda Townley suport Tolan sobre les cordes i va començar a treballar el cos del seu oponent, però, durant un intercanvi particularment frenètic hi va haver un soroll sord com els seus caps van xocar.
Townley va sortir el pitjor, amb un lleig tall a la part superior del front, que traspuava sang en ambdós ulls. Àrbitre Llegeix Murtagh va aturar el procediment i es va emportar el metge de torn per comprovar el tall immediat.
Després de netejar la sang de la cara estava clar que el tall no era tan dolent com semblava i la lluita va continuar.
Townley era una mica vacil·lant en la represa, que va obrir la porta perquè Tolan per entretenir a la multitud amb algunes combinacions magnífiques darrere d'un jab seriosament contundent.
La segona ronda molt més del mateix, amb Tolan prendre el control de les actuacions d'estil.
En aproximadament la marca de minuts una ferida desagradable es va obrir de cop a la galta de Townley, he de dir que no estic segur de si era d'un cop de puny o accidental xoc de front de nou, ja que això va succeir durant encara altres quarts molt propers baralla.
De qualsevol manera, Townley era molt ensangonat i començant a mirar una mica batalla desgastada.
Al final de la ronda metge de torn, Dr. Robert McConnell i Cap Trauma Medic Chris Robinson inspeccionats talls de Townley i després van parlar amb l'àrbitre.
Amb el coneixement que si les retallades s'obren de nou s'aturarà la lluita Townley va sortir en una manera més defensiva, però aquests nens un combat i després d'uns deu segons més o menys van llançar la precaució al vent i es van anar al gran temps d'atac, el que va seguir a continuació va ser una tota acció de guerra cara a cara.
Amb prop de trenta segons de la ronda restant va passar l'inevitable, no només hi havia la ferida a la galta de Townley obert de nou, però un altre tall es va obrir sobre el seu ull dret.
Townley va netejar la sang dels seus ulls amb el seu guant i es va dirigir directament a l'atac de nou, però Tolan estava tenint res d'això i deixar a per totes amb un gran xut amb la dreta seguit amb una ràfega donada doble de trets, en fer-ho recolzat l'ara encobrir Townley sobre les cordes i se'n va anar a matar amb una altra pluja de trets.
Amb tan sols cinc segons de la ronda per anar àrbitre Lee Murtagh va intervenir per salvar la atribolada Townley i ensangonat del nocaut inevitable.
He de dir que la lluita pot tenir només va durar tres rondes, però probablement hi va haver més acció en aquests nou minuts dels que normalment es veu en un deu assalts que va anar a la distància.
Després del resultat de ser anunciat pel llegendari MC irlandès Harry McGayock MBC Jennifer Burton i Irish Internacional Supervisor Campionat David Walsh va presentar Tolan amb el cinturó de campionat, per a alegria de la multitud local altament vocal.
Abans de l'excel·lent baralla de títol Tolan-Townley, De Belfast sensacional Eamonn Magee Jr estava en acció contra Dinars letons Skripkins.
Quina lluita, dos joves combatents de debò amb classe i talent en acció contra l'altra, aquest tenia els ingredients de ser un veritable clàssic.
Inicialment es tractava d'una exhibició de boxa molt tècnic, més com una partida d'escacs pugilístic, encara jugat a un ritme frenètic, tant Skripkins i Magee posen en una exhibició de boxa per la casa plena, però, va resultar ser una curta relació viscuda.
En aproximadament la marca d'un minut, Magee es va desaccelerar els seus atacs i va començar a recollir fora Skripkins amb tirs precisos pin punt al cap i el cos, que al seu torn va fer que el lituà per canviar les seves tàctiques en un intent de recuperar cert nivell de control.
Després d'uns trenta segons més o menys del sublim de boxa dels homes, Magee va intervenir amb un gran xut amb la dreta al cos de Skripkins, que va enviar el down letó a la lona.
Skripkins van tractar desesperadament de fer-la de nou als seus peus com àrbitre Llegeix Murtagh va fer el recompte, però els seus esforços van ser en va, lloc al jove letó es va enfrontar a una derrota per nocaut tècnic en el minut cinquanta-tres segona marca de la primera ronda.
Magee Jr és clarament el veritable negoci, aquest noi ho té tot i el que és més que estava en contra d'un bon oponent seriós en Skripkins, i va arribar amb gran èxit, gran victòria que és segur.
Les meves paraules finals sobre aquesta lluita, potser no hagi durat, però si aquests dos sempre tenen una revenja vull ser-hi, era tan bo.
Fent el seu debut professional va ser l'ex estrella aficionat Mateu Fitzsimmons, contra el també debutant Aleksndrs Birkenbergs de Letònia.
Igual que amb Magee Jr.-Skripkins aquesta va ser una altra baralla ben avingut.
Des de la campana inicial Birkenbergs posicionar anell central i va mirar per controlar les actuacions, No obstant això Fitzsimmons estava tenint res d'això, especialment pel que es barallaven davant del seu públic.
Mantenir la calma jove Fitzsimmons va ser contingut per encarregar-se de la seva oponent amb cops dirigits al cap i el cos cada vegada que Birkenbergs intervindrien amb un atac.
Al voltant d'un terç del camí a través de la primera ronda Fitzsimmons va intensificar el ritme, i tot i així mantenir la seva precisió, deixant Birkenbergs altra opció que cobrir durant períodes de temps fins a una obertura per a un contraatac va presentar.
Fitzsimmons va canviar de tàctica lleugerament en el segon, va sobre el peu davanter i portant la lluita a Birkenbergs des del primer minut.
Birkenbergs és tan valent com vénen, ell seguia arribant cap endavant en cada oportunitat, per desgràcia per al jove aquesta va jugar a la dreta en Fitzsimmons molt bones mans, el ball irlandès i estafa deixant que sigui amb un xut precís punt d'agulla per a la cap o el cos o una ràfega donada doble abans de sortir abans Birkenbergs podrien aconseguir un comptador decent a.
Al voltant de la marca de dos minuts, Fitzsimmons va aterrar una costella esquerdament cop al cos, literalment, però el jove letó valent només va sacsejar i va tractar de tornar al seu boxa.
Durant el descans tant el metge com a àrbitre Lee Murtagh van anar a comprovar Birkenbergs, que estava clarament en un munt de dolor. Després d'una breu discussió amb el seu racó, es va decidir que seria temerari per Birkenbergs per continuar.
He de dir Fitzsimmons és un altre jove amb classe i mare meva havia de mostrar les seves habilitats en dissabte nit, Definitivament cal veure per al futur.
Abans de les tres baralles professionals hi havia cinc combats d'exhibició, organitzat per l'Associació Internacional d'Advocats, per mostrar el que els fans poden esperar quan la MBC introduir el format de 'Novato' Pro a finals d'aquest any.

Com he dit al principi de l'informe que aquesta era la meva primera vegada a Belfast i vaig gaudir cada segon d'ella, gran Ciutat, grans persones i que per a l'espectacle bé què puc dir, era de primera classe, en un gran lloc i que estava ple de fans més apreciatius i amable que he tingut el plaer de conèixer.
