Dodson and Economides Head Up Vaughan’s Star Studded 23rd May Liverpool Event.
Renowned Liverpool based promoter Stephen Vaughan is clearly determined to raise the bar, for Small Hall Boxing events, to a whole new level, with his latest offering, dubbed ‘NEW ERA – An Evening Of Professional Boxing’, which takes place at the Grand Central Hall in Liverpool, Jumamosi 23rd Mei 2015.
For those that were at Vaughan’s previous event, at the Grand Central Hall back in March, there is no need to stress just how good the event was.
Mei 23rd promises much, much more, on paper NEW ERA looks set to not only be a true small hall classic, but also looks likely to set a new standard that very few small hall promotions could possibly match.
Heading up the twelve bout card is Liverpool’s very own Tony Dodson, who will be back in hometown action for the first time since beating Darren Stubbs to secure the IBO Light Heavyweight International title, back in October 2011.
Juu ya 23rd Mei, Dodson, who in his previous fight secured a solid points victory over one of the toughest opponents around – the mischievous, yet highly durable, Jody Meikle, will be facing Latvia’s big punching Andrejs Pokumeiko.
In March last year, Pokumeiko secured a good solid points win over Ilford’s Kevin Greenwood at York Hall in London, which is the only points win on his record, every other win has come by way of stoppage victory.
The main support sees Chester’s WBF Intercontinental Champion Paul ‘Spartan’ Economides, in a non-championship contest against Estonia’s Sergey Tasimov.
Back on Vaughan’s previous event Economides put in another top class performance, against Ghana’s two time Commonwealth title challenger Isaac Quaye, on way to securing another sensational second round stoppage victory.
That particular win says a lot about Economides’ power as Quaye hadn’t been stopped on any of his previous thirty six fights, some feat considering Quaye has battled it out with the likes of Commonwealth champion Don Broadhurst, British, Commonwealth and European Champion Kevin Satchell and WBO European Champion Iain Butcher amongst other notable stars.
What’s more, Mei 2nd Economides went one better, with a clinical first round stoppage of the Czech Republic’s Petr Gyna, at the York Hall in London.
Globe trotting Tasimov, has fought some of the UK’s top stars previously, including interim WBA World Champion Derry Mathews, British and European Champion and upcoming IBF World title challenger Lee Askins, as well as former British and Commonwealth Champion Nicky Booth.
Whilst most cards have a top-flight domestic bout or two heading up the show, the support card is usually made up of local ‘house’ fighters tentatively building their records. Not this card; only three of the undercard fights feature developing talent, the rest are already well and truly established prospects and stars.
One of the most interesting match ups on the card pits Liverpool’s Nick Quigley against … you’ve guessed it, the aforementioned Jody Meikle.
Quigley made short work of his last opponent, Ludvik Gina, sensationally stopping the Czech in just fifty five seconds of the first round.
Don’t think the same will happen against Meikle, but do expect six rounds of truly entertaining boxing, with some mischievousness sprinkled in for maximum effect, based on Meikle’s last outing against Onder Ozgul at York Hall on May 2nd.
Next up is the exciting prospect of watching one of the World’s most successful Kick Boxing stars ever, thirteen time World Champion Marlon Hunt, making his highly anticipated transition to the pro boxing ranks, against Latvia’s Uldis Pucens.
Hunt recently said “After winning 13 Professional World titles in Full Contact Kickboxing, K – 1Rules and Muay Thai and Unifying the Big 5 WBC, ISKA, WAKO PRO, IKF & WKA and winning other mid and low Tier World Titles and various Semi Pro Boxing Titles it’s time to take on the Professional Boxing world. "
Hunt has made clear that he isn’t taking up pro boxing to just make up the numbers, he’s a hundred percent determined to be the first ever four discipline World Champion.
Whilst on the subject of World Champions, Chester’s World Boxing Federation Welterweight World Champ Chris Goodwin is back in action once more, in a non-championship bout, against Finsbury Park, London’s Mark ‘The Flash’ Alexander.
Goodwin, a two division World Champion, will be making his first appearance since beating Georgia’s Mikheil Avakyan to win the coveted WBF World crown back in August.
Alexander, who had been training and fighting in America until recently, scored a third round stoppage victory over Tadas Stulginskas on his return to UK action at York Hall in London last October.
Birmingham’s undefeated Lightweight sensation Antonio Counihan is back in the ‘Pool, this time to face Janis Puksins.
Counihan, the former England Amateur Captain, has been nothing but sensational in each of his six previous bouts, stopping five inside the distance, however it was his last performance that proved that the Brummie youngster is destined to rise to the very top.
Back in March, Counihan took on previously unbeaten Czech Lukas Radic, Counihan didn’t just beat Radic, he plain destroyed him in just two minutes and twenty eight seconds of the first round.
Puksins is another globe trotter that should be quite well known to British fans, having fought the likes of former Prizefighter winner Ricky Owen, former WBU, WBF, WBC and Prizefighter Champion Choi Tseveenpurev, British Champ James Dickens and upcoming Commonwealth title challenger Jason Cunningham amongst others.
Another youngster who is fast heading towards World stardom is Liverpool based, Russian Featherweight prospect David Agadzhanyan, who will face former Ghanaian Champion Isaac Osuwu on May 23rd.
Like Counihan, Agadzhanyan has stopped all but one of his previous opponents and coincidently the bout against the one that went the distance, another previously unbeaten prospect Daniel Bazo, featured on Vaughan’s last event.
Kupambana nini, it was something truly special and a fight that many of those in attendance would love to see re-matched sometime in the near future, although have to say the result would probably be the same as Agadzhanyan is a tremendous talent, one that is likely to follow in the footsteps of Gennady Golovkin and Sergey Kovalev – yep, he’s that special.
Since that win, Agadzhanyan totally destroyed Czech Republic’s Josef Redlich, putting the Czech lad down three times before finally stopping him on the two minute and twenty five second mark of the first round, at the York Hall in London on May 2nd.
Liverpool’s former British, Commonwealth and WBF World title challenger Tony Moran is set for his first hometown fight since beating Czaba Andras at the Olympia back in 2005.
Mei 23rd Moran will be facing Blackpool’s former WBC United States title challenger Mathew ‘The Rock’ Ellis.
Welsh Middleweight Champion Lee Churcher makes his first Liverpool appearance on May 23rd, against Latvian Zaurs Sadihovs.
Back in March Churcher took on Nottingham’s Matt Scriven, after both their original opponents failed to make their flights to the UK.
Have to say I doubt the original match-ups would have been anywhere near the Battle Royale these two fought out on that night. It was a sensational close fought bout, with both protagonists giving their all in front of a highly appreciative crowd.
Churcher won on points, but have to say the real winners were the fans in attendance on the night, as that was one seriously exciting, all action fight.
Sadihovs, who has a won four, lost two record, however each of the wins came way of first round stoppage victories, including a full blown KO of Olegs Asejevs in January.
Making his third pro outing on May 23rd will be big punching Liverpudlian Featherweight Jay Carney.
Young Carney is proving to be one of the finds of the year, two outings, two fantastic stoppage wins.
Back in December Carney utterly outclassed Patrik Gadzo before stopping him on the one minute and thirty two second mark of the first round.
Then in March followed that great win up with a third round stoppage victory over the highly experienced Petr Gyna. Have to say that was a great fight, young Carney was far more relaxed and just performed perfectly, dominating Gyna for virtually every second the bout lasted.
Carney’s opponent on May 23rd is Dmitrijs Gutsman, is another big puncher, whilst his record is two wins and four losses, it should be noted that the wins both came way of first round stoppage.
Also making his third pro outing on May 23rd is Liverpool’s Lee Boyce, who will be taking on Scunthorpe’s Matthew Pepper.
Back in March Boyce literally destroyed Matus Olah with the very first power shot he threw, a cracking bodyshot that sent Olah down and out after just twenty seconds of the first round.
It should be noted that the power shot from Boyce actually cracked Olah’s rib, so whilst we didn’t get to see much action we now know just how powerful Boyce’s punches are.
Finally making his professional debut on the 23rd May is Liverpool Welterweight Dayle Gallagher, who goes up against Nottingham’s experienced Matt Scriven.
Gallagher is a classy young boxer and Scriven is as tough as they come, so expect fireworks when they go toe to toe.
So there you have it, one seriously great card for what is clearly going to be one seriously great fight night, so now you know it’s time to go and get those tickets because if you miss it, you’ll regret it.
The Stephen Vaughan promoted NEW ERA event takes place at the Grand Central Hall, 35 Renshaw Street, Liverpool, Merseyside L1 2SF, Jumamosi 23rd Mei 2015.

Khan Reigns Supreme – Topples Soloninkini, Now Eyes Further Title Challenges
Bradford’s sensational Bantamweight prospect Tasif Khan secured his first Championship accolade, International Masters Bantamweight cheo, when he beat Georgia’s Mikheil Soloninkini by unanimous points decision at the iconic York Hall in London last Saturday night.
What really makes this achievement even more special is that Khan only returned to the ring in January this year, zifuatazo miaka miwili Sabato kutoka mchezo.
On his return in January Khan scored a decisive first round stoppage victory, over the highly experienced Hungarian Richard Voros, in a bout that also took place at the York Hall.
Khan followed that win up with an equally impressive first round stoppage victory, over Czech Republic’s Ladislav Miko, six weeks later in Liverpool.
Jumamosi iliyopita, whilst it seems everyone else were preparing for the Mayweather-Pacquiao super fight, Khan was taking part in the biggest fight of his career to date.
Right from the off Khan boxed beautifully behind his solid jab to keep his slightly more experienced foe on the back foot.
By midway point Khan began to slow the pace, whilst continuing to keep full pressure on Soloninkini.
Midway through the sixth round, during a rather hectic exchange Khan was a little slow bringing up his gloves, which opened the door for Soloninkini, who let rip with a big right to send Khan to the canvas.
On the restart Soloninkini when in hard in an attempt to finish the still slightly wobbly legged Khan, however the Bradford lad remained calm and collected, whilst the hyper Georgian continued to come forward throwing huge bombs.
During a number of these skirmishes Khan sensibly grabbed hold until referee Lee Murtagh issued the order break. This tactic allowed Khan a little time in order to clear his head.
Soloninkini continued to push hard for the final three rounds, however Khan is one seriously cool character, he just got behind his jab and just plain boxed his way out of danger, each time the Georgian made a forceful foray.
After ten rounds of first class boxing from Khan, judges Ken Curtis 99-94, Obie Garnett 98-90 na Matt Hamilton 98-91, all scored in favour of the new International Masters Champion Tasif Khan.
Speaking from his home earlier Khan spoke about the fight as well as hinted at further Championship forays in the near future.
"Yeah, I won my first title.
It’s been my dream since I was a kid, winning a title, hopefully this will be the first of many, kuendelea na zaidi.
Saying that I don’t want to take away the importance of being the International Masters Champion, that was like winning a World title to me that night.
I’ve had a tough two and half years, I’ve come through it, got back fighting this year and now have a belt, yeah I’m really proud of what I’ve achieved.
I was absolutely fine coming into the fight, training went well, I went away with Nadeem Siddique one of my coaches, he’s a professional himself. I had a good training camp abroad, went to Greece,
Came into the fight brilliant, working of my jab, using my jab more as I felt I had a good chance, I was finding it quite comfortable to be honest, I was finding him quite easily with the jab.
He was a tough kid, took some good shots to the body, I found I could walk him down, then I think it was either the third or fourth round I overstretched my right arm, I felt at the time I must have damaged my shoulder, I tried not to show it, but as the rounds went on I struggled to throw big shots.
It wasn’t hurting, it did limit me on my shots as the fight went on, but I think I got a little complacent and gave him the opportunity to catch me with a good shot, it didn’t hurt me at all, but had to see that round through, because I had won every single round but that round, I boxed smart and stayed at a distance when I could and other times let him punch himself out.
To be honest I feel I could have stopped him, with all the pressure and that decided to just box my way through.
I’m really appreciative of my fans as always, they travel down to London in numbers, if all goes well though my next fight will be a lot nearer to home, maybe even Bradford, but I’m always grateful to my fans, even those that are unable to travel to watch me fight in London or Liverpool.
Since day one I’ve had good support, a great fan base, but fighting away all the time makes it hard for everyone to be at every fight, so I’d really love to do something big in Bradford, or at least more local and fingers crossed we’ll get a big title on that show.
I’d like to thank all my team, Martin Stainsby, Bee, Junior Witter, River (Gianluca Di Caro), Johnny Eames and all those that work behind the scene, I can’t forget to mention my Missus, she puts in all the hard work and puts up with me when I’m on a diet and my family, who have all been so supportive.
Before I forget I want to make a comment, I’ve been boxing since the age of ten, I made my mind up as the years went on that I wanted to really do something in Boxing, I had no intention of just making up the numbers, I had no option, I want to do well and win titles, I want to put Bradford on the map, winning the International Masters title has put me in the right direction, as such I want to dedicate the win to my eldest brother Tahir Khan, because if it wasn’t for him pointing me in the right direction, he’d keep me fit and take me to the gym, he’s the first person to totally support me in boxing, always been there for me and he’s the one that made all this possible.
As I say if it wasn’t for Tahir, I wouldn’t be in boxing and I wouldn’t have this International Masters belt, thank you for everything Tahir, really appreciate everything you’ve done for me.
I’d like to say a big thank you to my sponsors, Kingsland Biashara Recovery katika Bradford, Broadway Solicitors katika Oldham, Kesser Jewelers katika Bradford na Vyomax virutubisho kutoka Manchester, they’ve been brilliant getting behind me so I can concentrate on my boxing.
Finally I would like to say a huge thanks to Mark Lyons and Billy James-Elliott, who gave me the opportunity to fight for the title on their show.”

Kupambana Ripoti: Ozgul na Khan Wana vyeo salama katika ukumbi wa York Hall Thriller
Ripoti na: Gianluca (River) Di Caro
Hebu uso yake, na kiasi cha inchi za safu zilizowekwa kwa Mayweather-Pacquiao katika wiki chache zilizopita, unaweza kusamehewa kwa urahisi ukifikiria kwamba hakukuwa na hafla zingine za ndondi ambazo zilifanyika mnamo Mei 2nd.
Naam, kulikuwa na kadi nyingine ya vita, na ninafurahi kusema kwamba nilikuwa kwenye hafla hiyo - Mark Lyons na Billy James-Elliott walitangaza Lords of the Ring kwenye ukumbi wa ikoni wa York London.
OK, kwa hakika Jumba la York huko Bethnal Green halina mahali popote karibu na cachet ya kuwa kwenye mapigano mega huko MGM Grand huko Las Vegas, lakini linapokuja suala la mchezo wa kuigiza na msisimko, samahani huwezi tu kupiga ndondi ndogo za ukumbi, hasa wakati iko kwenye Ukumbi wa York.
Wakati hafla hiyo ilipotangazwa ilikuwa ni kwa sababu ya vipindi kumi na vinne, lakini mara tu baada ya Mei-Pac kutangazwa idadi kubwa ya pambano hizo zilifutwa, wakati wapiganaji walitaka kuwa pete huko Vegas, kisha katika ujenzi wa mwisho mapigano zaidi hayakuwa kwenye kadi, kwa sababu ya majeraha, akiacha onyesho la kupigania kadi saba usiku, au ilikuwa hivyo.
Kadi ilipunguzwa zaidi siku hiyo, baada ya moja ya mapigano kufutwa kwa sababu za usalama - kwa sababu ya tofauti ya kilo 5 ya uzito kati ya wapiganaji hao wawili wa kwanza - na ikiwa hiyo haikuwa mbaya mpinzani wa Manny Muhammad, Rafael Snow alishindwa kujitokeza, ukiacha mapigano matano tu usiku.
Wa kwanza alikuwa mzunguko sita kati ya matarajio ya moto ya Liverpool ya Urusi David Agadzhanyan, dhidi ya Jamhuri ya Czech Josef Redlich, ambaye aliingia dakika ya mwisho kuokoa pambano, kufuatia raia wa Ghana Isaac Owusu kulazimishwa kujiondoa kwa sababu ya ugonjwa.
Ilimchukua Agadzhanyan sekunde arobaini na tano tu kumpeleka Redlich kwenye turubai kwa mara ya kwanza na sawa sawa tena kumtia chini mara ya pili.
Redlich alikuwa wazi sana na haishangazi kwamba wakati aliposhuka kwa mara ya tatu mwamuzi Ken Curtis aliamua kusitisha kesi kwa dakika mbili na sekunde ishirini na tano..
Nimeona Agadzhanyan akifanya kazi mara kadhaa, ikiwa ni pamoja na ushindi bora juu ya Daniel Bazo ambaye hajashindwa mnamo Machi, kwa hivyo nilikuwa nikitarajia kumuona akichuana na Owusu, mgumu mgumu wa zamani wa Bingwa wa Ghana na mshindani wa taji la Jumuiya ya Madola, lakini hiyo itabidi isubiri hadi baadaye mwezi huu wakati pambano lililopangwa upya litafanyika Liverpool.
Aliyefuata alikuwa Bingwa wa WBF baina ya Bara Paul Economides, katika zisizo michuano sita rounder, dhidi ya mwingine badala ya marehemu, Petr Gyna wa Jamhuri ya Czech, kufuatia Champian wa zamani wa Uingereza Andy Bell akiondoa wiki moja kabla na kisha mbadala wa asili akiondoa siku mbili tu kabla ya onyesho.
Uchumi ni kitendo kingine cha darasa, kwa hivyo haishangazi kwamba Gyna alikuwa kwenye turubai ndani ya sekunde thelathini tu, kwa kuanza upya Gyna aliamua kuwa shambulio ndio njia bora ya ulinzi, hata hivyo katika kupeleka pambano kwa Economides alicheza moja kwa moja mikononi mwake, halisi kama Economides alimuadhibu na haki kubwa, ambayo ilituma Kicheki chini kwenye turubai kwa mara ya pili na ya mwisho, kwa dakika moja na ishirini na tano alama ya pili.
Pamoja na mapigano yote ya ufunguzi kumaliza mapema na matangazo ya moja kwa moja ya Runinga sio kwa sababu ya kuanza hadi 9pm, wahamasishaji hawakuwa na chaguo ila kuwa na muda mrefu kabla ya pambano linalofuata, mashindano ya raundi sita ya Uzito Mwepesi kati ya Mabingwa TKO ambao hawajashindwa Hackney kulingana na matarajio ya Uturuki Onder Ozgul na mburudishaji mwenyewe Jody Meikle.
Katika raundi nne za kwanza Ozgul alitembea tu Meikle chini, kuruhusu kupasuka kwa mikono kubwa ya kulia kwa kila fursa inayowezekana, Meikle ni mgumu kama wanavyokuja na walionekana kuridhika kunyonya adhabu iliyotolewa na yule mtu aliyeitwa 'Little Mike' na mashabiki wa Kituruki.
Mzaha wa milele, Meikle alicheza chini ya adhabu aliyokuwa akichukua, kucheza kwa furaha kwa umati, pamoja na kumkasirisha mpinzani wake, kwa kuvuta nyuso na kusisitiza kwamba hakukuwa na nguvu katika risasi za vijana hawa wa Kituruki, Walakini na ukweli kwamba Meikle alikuwa amepunguza maudhi yake, ilionyesha wazi kuwa risasi za Ozgul zilikuwa na athari inayotarajiwa.
Meikle alipunguza uchezaji wa mbinu zake hata zaidi katika ya tano, wakati Ozgul akiongeza mashambulizi yake, kuweka nguvu zaidi katika risasi zake.
Kuanzia mwanzo wa sita ilikuwa wazi kwamba Ozgul alikuwa na nia ya kumuadhibu Meikle hata zaidi, kumuunga mkono mtu wa Scunthorpe kwenye kamba kabla ya kuruhusu mpasuko na maua makubwa mara mbili, moja ambayo, mwili uliopasuka, kwa kweli kugonga upepo kutoka kwa Meikle na kumlazimisha kuchukua goti moja.
Katika kuanza upya Ozgul aliingia kumaliza, wakati huu Meikle alijitetea, hakuna kucheza tena kwa umati, kuiona kupitia kengele ya mwisho.
Baada ya raundi sita za burudani sana Mwamuzi Ken Curtis alifunga pambano hilo 60-53 kwa niaba ya Ozgul.
Nilifurahia sana pambano hilo, Najua haikuwa ya kawaida, lakini kijana oh kijana ilikuwa ya burudani sana.
Pambano la nne la usiku tazama Bradford's Tasif Khan katika hatua ya Ubingwa kwa mara ya kwanza, dhidi ya Mikheil Soloninkini wa Georgia, kwa jina la International Masters Silver bantamweight.
Khan alianza haraka, ndondi vizuri nyuma ya jab yake yule mtu wa Bradford aliweka adui yake mzoefu kidogo kwenye mguu wa nyuma kwa wengi wa pambano hilo.
Kufikia katikati ya hatua Khan alipunguza mwendo kidogo, wakati huo huo kuweka shinikizo kwa Soloninkini, hata hivyo karibu katikati ya sita, wakati wa kubadilishana kwa kawaida Khan alikuwa mwepesi kidogo akileta glavu zake, ikiacha ufunguzi kwa Mjijiajia apasue haki kubwa, ambayo ilimpeleka Khan kwenye turubai.
Kwenye kuanza upya Soloninkini alikwenda kushambulia, Khan alitulia na kurudi nyuma ya jab yake tena, yule wa Kijojiajia alikuwa na hyped vizuri na aliendelea kujitokeza kwa kasi kabla ya kutupa mabomu makubwa.
Wakati wa mapigano haya Khan alishikilia kwa busara hadi mwamuzi Lee Murtagh atoe amri ya kuvunja. Mbinu hii ilifanya kazi na Khan aliweza kusafisha kichwa chake vya kutosha kugeuza udhibiti kurudi kwake.
Khan alikuwa amejaa mikono kwa raundi tatu za mwisho, kwani Soloninkini alikuwa na kidogo kati ya meno yake na alikuwa akisukuma kwa bidii, hata hivyo Khan ni mhusika mzuri na alionekana kuridhika na sanduku la mguu wa nyuma kila wakati Mjijia alipofanya onyesho kali.
Baada ya raundi kumi za ndondi bora, kadi za alama za majaji zilisomeka – Ken Curtis 99-94, Obie Garnett 98-90 na Matt Hamilton 98-91, wote wanampendelea Tasif Khan.
Jennifer Burton, Katibu wa Kanda ya Kaskazini wa Tume ya Ndondi ya Malta, aliwasilisha ukanda wa Masters wa kimataifa uliojulikana kwa Tasif Khan aliyeshinda.
Lazima niseme nilifurahiya sana pambano hilo, ingawa ilikuwa upande mmoja kwa muda mwingi, hebu tukubaliane kwamba hiyo sio taarifa juu ya ubora wa Soloninkini, kama asili yake inajulikana, mtoto huyu ni karanga ngumu ya kuvunja, inavyothibitishwa kwa kuchukua Jamie Williams umbali, wakati walipigania Mabwana wa Shaba mnamo Machi, na vile vile tukapambana na mshtuko Charlie Edwards wiki kadhaa baadaye, lakini kwa mawazo yangu upande mmoja wa mapigano na matokeo pia yanaonyesha jinsi Tasif Khan alivyopambana.
Mapigano ya kichwa cha usiku yanaona marudiano kati ya Mabingwa TKO ambao hawakushindwa Hackney kulingana na matarajio ya Uturuki Siar Ozgul, yep ndugu kwa Onder iliyotajwa hapo juu, dhidi ya Matt Scriven wa Nottingham na wakati huu kulikuwa na Mashindano kwenye mstari - Kombe la Mbio la Kimataifa la MBC.
Wakati hawa wawili walipigana kwanza, mnamo Oktoba mwaka jana, ilikuwa vita vya nje na nje, Ozgul alishinda lakini raundi zilikuwa karibu sana inaweza kuwa matokeo tofauti sana.
Mpambano huo ulianza kwa njia inayofanana sana na onyesho lao la Oktoba, wala mtu anayetaka kukubali uwanja wowote, hata hivyo kabla tu ya kumalizika kwa duru ya kwanza Ozgul achana na haki kubwa kwa mwili wa Scriven, ambayo ilimlazimisha mtu wa Nottingham kufunika ili kuona raundi hiyo ni hitimisho.
Risasi kwa mwili lazima ilimuumiza sana Scriven kwani alionekana kuwa na nia zaidi ya ulinzi, badala ya kamili juu ya shambulio, tangu mwanzo wa pili, muundo ambao ulibaki kwa pambano lililobaki.
Ozgul alifanya kazi zaidi wakati wote, hata hivyo Scriven alizidi kushikilia wakati wa mapigano mengi yaliyotokea, ingawa lazima kukubali alikuwa mwangalifu kidogo kuliko wakati wa duru ya ufunguzi.
Baada ya duru kumi za ndondi bora waamuzi walisomwa kadi za alama - Lee Murtagh na Matt Hamilton walipiga pambano hilo 100-90 na Obie Garnett 100-88 wote wanampendelea Siar Ozgul.
Hii ilifuatiwa na uwasilishaji wa mkanda wa MBC wa Kimataifa kwa Siar Ozgul na mwenzake wa mazoezi ya Klabu Bingwa TKO na Bingwa wa sasa wa MbC International Super Bantamweight Marianne Marston.
Kwa jumla nilifurahiya sana hafla hiyo, haswa pambano tatu za mwisho, hata hivyo nilikuwa na tamaa kidogo kwamba baadhi ya mapigano yaliyopangwa, kama vile zile zilizo na Iain Weaver, Antonio Counihan, Mark Prince, George Hillyard na Marianne Marston aliyetajwa hapo juu, imeshindwa kutekelezeka, kwa sababu kwa akili yangu ikiwa wangefanyika nahisi hii karibu ingekuwa moja ya maonyesho bora katika Ukumbi wa York mwaka huu, kama ilivyokuwa bado ilikuwa jioni ya kufurahisha na ya kuburudisha ya hatua ya uchukuzi na utangulizi unaofaa wa pambano la May-Pac, ambayo watangazaji Mark Lyons na Billy James-Elliott walipanga mabondia hao, timu zao na wahudhuriaji wa hafla hiyo kutazama moja kwa moja kupitia setilaiti kwenye chumba cha faragha.

Khan-Soloninkini Battle For Title Supremacy In London This Saturday
Bradford’s exciting Bantamweight prospect TASIF KHAN is set to challenge for his first title Jumamosi hii, when he takes on Georgian #1 ranked MIKHEIL SOLONINKINI, for the vacant International Masters Silver Bantamweight Championship, on the Mark Lyons and Billy James-Elliott promoted LORDS OF THE RING event at the iconic York Hall, in Bethnal Green, London on May 2nd.
Khan earned the title shot with a pair of sensational first round stoppage wins earlier this year, following his return from a two year sabbatical from the sport.
In January this year, Khan dispatched Hungarian #2 ranked Richard Voros in just one minute and five seconds of the first round at the York Hall, then two months later followed up with an almost identical stoppage victory, this time in one minute and fifteen seconds of the first round, over the Czech Republic’s Ladislav Miko at the Grand Central Hall in Liverpool.
Originally Khan was to face Patrik Bartos, however the Czech lad was TKO’d by Andrew Cain, on the undercard of Derry Mathews WBA title fight, at the Echo Arena, a couple of weeks ago.
Bartos’ replacement, Mikheil Soloninkini, has been quite a regular figure on the UK scene, having fought here four times in the past year, including an unsuccessful challenge for the International Masters Bronze title, which he lost out on points to Jamie Williams back in March.
Speaking from his home earlier, Khan appeared unperturbed with the late change of opponent.
“It’s a shame, I had been preparing for Patrik Bartos, but what can I say he got stopped and has a twenty eight day suspension, these things happen.
I would have preferred if we’d known earlier who was going to replace Patrik, but three potential opponents backed out last week and then a fourth that had been proposed got knocked back by the MBC as not suitable.
Luckily though this new lad agreed terms Jumanne and now the fight is set and ready to go, Siwezi kusubiri.
I’m not expecting it to be a quick finish like the past two fights, they were four and six rounders, this time I’ll have to pace myself just in case I have to go the full ten rounds, but if the chance comes, I’ll take him out early.
Trainings been great, always is, Mimi niko tayari na raring kwenda, can’t wait.
My fans are great so far this year they’ve come out in force to support me in London and Liverpool and Saturday they’ll be back in London again, I can’t thank them enough, they’re a great bunch that really get behind me, making plenty of noise, letting me know that they’re there, they’re really are brilliant and I’ll thank them the best way I know, winning the title.
I’d like to say a big thank you to my sponsors, Kingsland Biashara Recovery katika Bradford, Broadway Solicitors katika Oldham, Kesser Jewelers katika Bradford na Vyomax virutubisho kutoka Manchester, they’ve been brilliant getting behind me so I can concentrate on my boxing.
Finally I have just been told that Mark and Billy (Promoters Mark Lyons and Billy James-Elliott) have arranged a function room so that everyone can watch the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight live after my fight, so if you haven’t got tickets yet, you know what to do, either call me or get down to York Hall Jumamosi as there are still some tickets available.
