Khan to Defend World Crown Against Rios in Bradford this Saturday 7th Sept

Leave a comment

Bradford’s four time, two division World Champion Tasif Khan returns to his home town this coming Saturday, where he is set to face Mexico’s Luis Alberto Rios at St Georges Hall on the 7th September in his first defence of the World Boxing Union (UMC) World Super Flyweight Crown he secured in Lagos, Nigeria via a third round knockout over Ghana’s Asamoah Wilson last December.

Kan (17-1-2), who is promoted by Prince Stanley Williams’ Pennsylvania and London based Monarch Events and Promotions, has stopped ten of his opponents, more importantly his last seven opponents which includes everyone he has fought for World Championship honours.

Rius (25-5-1) is tough and a big puncher with an impressive KO count, in his case seventeen.

Rios secured the Panamanian title on just his eighth fight, he then won both the Panamanian and WBA Fedalatin Minimum Weight titles on his next outing and followed that up on his next fight with WBO Latino Minimum weight title.

En 2012 he won the WBC Latino Light Flyweight title against Arnoldo Solano and then successfully defended it against Luis Carilio.

En 2013 he unsuccessfully challenged John Riel Casimero for the IBF World Light Flyweight title before successfully winning the WBC FECARBOX Flyweight title in 2014 and a year later added the Panamanian Flyweight title and then went on to win the WBC Latino Flyweight title but came up short when he fought Otto Games for the IBA World Bantamweight title last year.

Besides Khan-Rios World title fight, there are two further Championships fights this Saturday.

Nigeria’s Sule Olagbade defends his Super Welterweight WBU Super Welterweight World Crown against France’s Fouad El Massoudi and Australia based Nigerian King Davidson defends his WBU Interim Middleweight World title against Mexico’s Fernando Castaneda.

Supporting the three World Championship bouts Prince Stanley Williams has put together a seriously mouthwatering International undercard;

Ghana’s highly rated Cruiserweight Briamah Kamoko (30-1-0) is set for a ten round battle Royale with Hungary’s Ferenc Albert (27-16-0) and also boxing in the Cruiserweight division is Dubai’s Mohammad Ali Bayat Farid who goes toe-to-toe with Germany’s Rojhat Bilgetekin.

There are also two Heavyweight contests on the bill, Germany’s Rad Rashid against fellow German Hasan Kurnaz and Avni Selimi, also from Germany, against Lithuanian Tomas Vaicickas.

Tasif Khan versus Luis Alberto Rios for the World Boxing Union (UMC) World Super Flyweight Championship, headlines the Prince Stanley Williams’ Monarch Events and Promotions THE HOMECOMING, at St Georges Hall, Bridge Street, Bradford BD1 1JT on Saturday 7th September 2019.

Stoppage Win Over Martinez Sets Khan on Course For Another Title Shot

Leave a comment

It may have been the coldest weekend of the year in the UK so far, but the icy cold conditions en dissabte night didn’t prevent the fans turning out to support local hero Tasif Khan as he faced Mexican Champion and former WBC World Title Challenger Juan Lopez Martinez on the Bridie Murtagh (Saorise Promotions) promoted Dinner Event at the Royal Taj (formerly the Connaught Rooms) in Bradford.

 

The importance of the fight clearly wasn’t lost on any of Khan’s fans, their man may already have secured World Boxing Union (UMC), Global Boxing Union (GBU) and World Boxing Confederation (CMB) World Championships over the past couple of years, but a victory en dissabte would mean that Khan, who is already highly ranked by the International Boxing Federation (FIB) in their Intercontinental Ratings, would be eligible to mount a challenge for the prestigious IBF Intercontinental Championship in the Summer as the first step to mounting a potential future challenge for the coveted IBF World Crown.

 

Prior to the first fight of the night, Master of Ceremonies Sam Gorman gave a moving eulogy to British & Irish Boxing Authority (BIBA) Vicepresident (Escòcia) Kenny Barr, who tragically passed away in December at the age of just 34, which was followed by a standing Ten Bell tribute.

 

OK now let’s get onto the the main event, a ten round non-championship Super Flyweight contest between the aforementioned Tasif Khan and Juan Lopez Martinez.

 

The atmosphere was electric as the protagonists made their way to the ring with the entourages in support waving their respective countries flags and in Khan’s case also carrying his many Championship belts. After the pre-fight razzmatazz and introductions it was down to business for the young Gladiators.

 

Right from the opening bell both men began to cautiously vie for Centre-ring, Khan utilizing his superior reach to take effective control and force his more experienced opponent on to the back foot.

 

About the midway point of the round Khan began to step up the pace, landing some big shots to both body and head, each time Martinez stood his ground and countered with good effect.

 

In the second it was more or less the same, with Khan taking the initiative and actively attacking, whilst Martinez remained content to counter when the opportunity arose.

 

Round three see Khan step up the pace further, utilizing superior hand speed and slick movement to land a some sensational shots, the most notable was a huge right to the chin late on in the round. Martinez was clearly shaken, but still thinking clearly enough to change his tactics and tie the Bradford man up on the inside to prevent further big shots landing.

 

Initially Martinez took the fight to Khan in the fourth, in doing so landed a sensational hook to the head of Khan. However this tactic just played into Khan’s hands and the Bradford man came back with some sensational combinations each time the Mexican mounted an attack.

 

As the round progressed into the second minute, Khan caught Martinez with another big shot which sent the Mexican back towards the ropes, Khan stepped in and let rip with a double handed flurry culminating with a big left hook to the body, which sent Martinez to the canvas. Martinez made the count and made it to the end of the round by tying up Khan on the inside again.

 

Round five see Martinez utilizing the tying up Khan on the inside tactic more, and at times looked outclassed. Khan’s superior ring-craft really came into play as the round entered the final minute, the confident persona Martinez carried in the early rounds was now gone, Martinez was beginning to try and slow Khan’s scintillating pace down to a crawl, constantly grabbing hold each time Khan mounted an attack, before letting rip with uppercuts at every opportunity, much to the dismay of Khan’s corner, who were shouting at their man to work off his jab and keep him at a distance.

 

Round six see Khan confidently begin to wear Martinez down further with fast double handed flurries and powerful combinations to both body and head. At more or less the half way point of the round Khan broke loose from another attempted holding session from Martinez and fired a couple of stiff jabs, before stepping in with a huge hook to the body. Martinez immediately collapsed to the canvas and was clearly distraught, however the tough Mexican tried his hardest to make it to his feet before referee James Ancliff’s count reached its conclusion, albeit unsuccessful in doing so.

 

The official time for the stoppage 1 minute and 32 seconds of the sixth round.

 

Preceding the Khan-Martinez headline bout was a six round Super Middleweight contest between Bardley, Lincolnshire’s unbeaten Nathan Decastro and very late replacement Malcolm Richardson from Blackpool.

 

Originally IBF Ranked Decastro was due to compete against Ghanaian Philip Kotey, who had arrived in the UK but fell ill el divendres nit. More disappointment for Decastro as a win over Kotey would have also positioned him for a potential shot at an IBF title later in the year.

 

Right from the off it was clear that Decastro was intent on making a statement, the Bardley man closing of the ring and letting rip with power punch after power punch. Richardson’s made of stern stuff and stood his ground and countered with good effect. However as the round progressed towards the second minute, Decastro switched to the body, landing a massive body shot that sent Richardson down.

 

Richardson made the count, in fact following the knockdown went on the front foot and landed a couple of good shots of his own, but Decastro’s relentless power shots got the better of the Blackpool man and with about 40 seconds of the round to go Decastro caught him with a huge body shot to send him to the canvas for the second time, this time though Richardson didn’t make it to his feet before referee James Ancliff’s count reached it’s conclusion.

 

Official time of the stoppage was 2 Minutes and 30 segons de la primera ronda.

 

Prior to Decastro-Richardson it was time for a Heavyweight contest between Askam-in-Furness, Cumbria’s Lee Kellett and Belfast, Northern Ireland’s Ryan Kilpatrick.

 

What a cracking fight, both lads gave there all for the full four rounds, much to the appreciation of those in attendance.

 

After four highly entertaining all action rounds it was Lee Kellett that scoring referee James Ancliff decided was the victor by a 40-36 marge de punts.

 

Next up was a four round Super Lightweight contest between Newcastle’s Jak Johnson and Liverpool’s Paul Peers.

 

Quina lluita, it was a true Battle Royale, these two warriors gave no quarter, and it was a seriously top class battle. The first couple of rounds were exhausting to watch, pure toe-2-toe action from start to finish, so much so that this contest rightly earned the accolade of the Fight of the Night.

 

The third though see Peers in the ascendancy, the Liverpool man steeping up the pace as well as switching his focus to the body of the Geordie with great effect, so much so that around the midway point Peers sent Johnson to the canvas with a pin-point perfect shot to the lower rib.

 

Johnson made it to his feet but in the dying seconds of the round Peers found a way through Johnson’s excellent defence to land another shot to the lower rib to send Johnson down for a second time, this time Johnson couldn’t make it to his feet to beat referee James Ancliff’s count.

 

Official time of the stoppage was 2 minutes and 59 seconds of the third round.

 

The opening bout of the night sees Aberdeen’s Nathan Beattie in action against late replacement Belfast’s Marty Kayes.

 

Beattie-Kayes was a purist’s dream fight, it was one seriously closely fought and highly technical contest, which wouldn’t come as any surprise to those in the know, as these two had fought each other previously.

 

After four closely fought rounds scoring referee James Ancliff’s score card read 40-37 in favour of Nathan Beattie.

 

There were due to be two further contests on the card – Obadai Sai vs Isaac Quartey and Patrick Okine vs Saidi Mundi, however these contests failed to take place due to only Quartey and Okine receiving their visa in time to make the trip to the UK.

Khan and Newell in Sensational Knockout Form Reign Supreme in Bradford

Leave a comment

Informe: Gianluca Di Caro

The boxing scene in the North of England is really booming, especially around the cities of Leeds and Bradford. One of the main reasons for the increase of professional boxing events in the area is due to Bradford’s very own reigning World Boxing Union (UMC), Global Boxing Union (GBU) and World Boxing Confederation (CMB) World Champion Tasif Khan, who for the past couple of years has been working closely with Leeds based promoter Bridie Murtagh to bring stylish Boxing Dinner Shows to the area.

The latest of these took place at the Royal Taj, formerly the Connaught Rooms, in Bradford, which not only featured the aforementioned Tasif Khan himself in action, against Tanzania’s Julias Kisarawe, but also heralded the return of unbeaten Lightweight prospect Justin Newell from Leeds, who faced Latvian Aleksandrs Birkenbergs

Besides the local lads on the card, exciting Super Welterweight prospect Chris Wood from Middlesbrough was in action against Belfast’s Marty Kayes, however two top class International bouts scheduled for the event, a ten round Middleweight contest between Ishmael Tetteh and Philip Kotey, as well as an eight round Welterweight contest between Frank Dodzi and Justice Addy, failed to materialise due to visas for three of the boxers failing to arrive in time.

Whilst disappointing that these two fights didn’t go ahead, there was more than enough action to keep the fans happy, as promoter Bridie Murtagh arranged for two exhibition bouts featuring local lads to replace the Internationals ahead of the pro element.

First up was Chris Wood against Marty Kayes in a four rounder.

What a cracking start to the pro section, it was all action right from the opening bell, Wood was clearly fired up and went on the attack, closing down his far more experienced opponent before letting rip with a vast array of combinations at every conceivable opportunity. Kayes though is as savvy as they come, would cover up and seemed more than content to let the fired up youngster get his shots off before countering.

After four scintillating rounds the referee’s scorecard unsurprisingly read as a 40-36 points victory for the Teesider Chris Wood.

Next up was unbeaten Justin Newell in a six rounder against the very tough Latvian Aleksandrs Birkenbergs.

Newell was on fire, slick movement and very fast hands – Birkenbergs was no walk over and landed a cracking right hand about midway through the round, which lit the blue touch-paper for Newell, who went hard on the attack throwing some tasty big shots to body and head, which ultimately led to Birkenbergs taking a visit to the canvas. This kid’s tough, he was straight up and going toe to toe with Newell until the end of the round.

Round two was fantastic to watch, both lads giving no quarter – beautiful boxing from both, but Newell’s class proved just too much for the plucky Latvian as the Leeds lad piled some serious pressure in the second half of the fight before letting rip with big double handed salvos that sent Birkenbergs to the deck in the dying seconds of the round, no matter how hard he tried Birkenbergs just couldn’t make the count – great win on his return to the fray for Newell who won by TKO, the time would you believe 2 minutes and 59 seconds of round two.

The headline fight see WBU, GBU and WBC World Champion take on Tanzania’s Julias Kisarawe in a ten round non-championship contest, instead of the scheduled twelve round World Boxing Confederation (CMB) Super Flyweight title defence for Khan, due to lateness of the visa arriving for Kisarawe to complete the necessary Championship paperwork for the contest to be sanctioned by the WBC.

First round started fast and see Kisarawe taking the fight to Khan, however the Bradford lad stood his ground and picked his shots for maximum effect
More of the same in round two, except this time it was Khan that took the fight to Kisarawe.

Round three see Khan really start to get in a flow, regularly backing his opponent up before letting rip with wickedly fast double handed salvos, the power and speed in Khan’s shots finally had the desired effect and the super tough Tanzanian took a very brief trip to the canvas.

On the restart Kisarawe went hard on the attack, throwing seriously solid lefts in an attempt to do unto Khan what the Bradford lad did to him moments before (amb 14 KO wins on his record Kisarawe is very capable of doing just that)
Round four was an outright war and fascinating to watch, as was round five and six but for very different reasons. Khan stepped not just one gear but at least two or three and corralled the Tanzanian into a corner and just plain bombarded him with double handed Exocets throughout

More of the same in round seven but this time Khan managed to penetrate Kisarawe’s world class defence and sent him to the canvas for the second time.
Kisarawe managed to make the count but it was clear for all to see that he was in some distress, so much so that referee James Ancliff had no option but to stop the contest on the one minute twelve second mark.

What followed then was a good thirty minute celebration in the ring by Tasif Khan, his team AND many of the fans!!!!

Have to say the Khan/Murtagh co-promoted shows I’ve attended have always been top class, however this event, even though a couple of fights short, was by far the best one yet, the fights were all beautifully matched all action affairs, what more could any fan of the pugilistic arts wish for. Can’t wait for the next, which I hear is going to be in December.

Khan Stops Quaye To Secure WBU Crown

Leave a comment

En dissabte nit, Great Britain’s Tasif Khan secured both the World Boxing Union (UMC) and Global Boxing Union (GBU) World Super Flyweight Championships at the Cedar Court Hotel in his hometown of Bradford in the United Kingdom.

 

Kan, who only returned to the sport, following a two year sabbatical, just over twelve months ago, put in the performance of his career, in front of a pack house that included a number of British star boxers, such as interim WBA World Lightweight Champion Derry Mathews and former British, Mancomunitat, European and WBC World Champion Junior Witter as well as various local dignitaries such as the Mayor of Bradford and local MP Imran Hussain.

 

Khan also received support from the British Army, who turned out in force to watch their man being lead to the ring by the band of the Yorkshire Regiment.

 

After a slow first round, during which both combatants barely threw a shot in anger, Khan proceeded to utterly dominated Accra, Ghana’s Isaac Quaye from the second stanza right through to the sensational sixth round, during which Khan really stepped up the pace and sent the Ghanaian to the canvas three times in very short succession, the last of which was a perfect right to the chin that sent Quaye crashing backwards and prostrate on the canvas in such a spectacular manner that the Ghanaian’s corner-man immediately jumped into the ring before referee Lee Murtagh had barely started the count. NB. Quaye was perfectly fine albeit a little dazed after rising.

 

Following the bout a clearly elated Khan spoke briefly.

 

“This is the greatest day of my life, it’s a dream come true and to be crowned World Champion in front of my home crowd really is the cherry on top.

 

I have to say a big thank you to Isaac (Quaye), he’s a great fighter and it couldn’t have been easy for him to walk into the Lion’s Den with such a partisan crowd shouting out their support for me.

 

Also have to say a big thank you to Stephen (Vaughan) and his team for putting on such a great show for the fans and for believing in me, the same to Rio (WBU Europe President & MBC Vice President Gianluca Di Caro) for giving me the chance to box again and more importantly to fight for the WBU title, I’ve always wanted a WBU belt around my waist ever since watching Ricky Hatton win it when I was just a teen.

 

Huge thanks as well to GBU President Juergen Lutz for allowing me to fight for his title also.

 

Finally I’d also like to thank all my fantastic fans that turned out to support me tonight, as well as the Mayor of Bradford and my local MP Imran Hussain for their support, and last but definitely not least my sponsors; Broadway Solicitors Oldham, Kingsland Business Recovery, Vista Gym Benidorm and 3X Sports, as without you guys I could never have achieved my dream – thank you all so much”

Khan-Quaye lluita pel títol Suport Per Roy Jones Jr-Tony Moran 12 de setembre a Liverpool

Khan-Quaye lluita pel títol Suport Per Roy Jones Jr-Tony Moran setembre 12º a Liverpool

 

De Bradford Tasif Khan és poc més d'una setmana lluny de la baralla més important de la seva carrera fins a la data, quan s'enfronta a dues vegades retador al títol de la Commonwealth, De Ghana Isaac Quaye, per la Federació Mundial de Boxa (WBF) Campionat Internacional de pes mosca de Super, en el Stephen Vaughan promogut esdeveniment LEGEND, al Centre Eqüestre de Aintree dissabte 12ºSetembre, que està encapçalat pel primer combat del Regne Unit de Roy Jones Jr, contra Tony Moran.

 

Kan, només va tornar a la càrrega, després d'un any sabàtic i-cinc mesos de l'esport, el gener d'aquest any més que compensat pel seu temps fora del ring amb tres victòries de primera classe.

 

En el primer d'aquests episodis Khan rebutjar Richard Voros en poc més d'un minut de la primera ronda, després va seguir amb una victòria el temps gairebé idèntic sobre Ladislav Miko març, que li van alinear per a una oportunitat pel títol Internacional Masters maig, contra Mikhaïl Soloninkini, que Khan assegura amb una excel·lent victòria per punts unànime.

 

Per descriure l'emoció de Khan sobre aconseguir aquesta oportunitat de lluitar pel títol WBF tan poc temps després del seu retorn és un eufemisme, però en comparació dels seus sentiments sobre la lluita pel títol a la cartellera de Roy Jones Jr contra Tony Moran fet que res en comparació, com va deixar clar quan va parlar sobre el pròxim esdeveniment.

 

"Quan vaig arribar per primera vegada vaig dir que estaré barallant en la factura de Roy Jones, va ser absolutament increïble, sí increïble a lluitar en el mateix programa com Roy Jones.

 

Jo vaig créixer veient lluita, en els meus ulls és un dels més grans boxejadors mai, no pel guardó de títols que ha guanyat, el nombre de cinturons que ha guanyat, de pes mitjà cap amunt, però és inaudit que dir a ningú en aquests dies que un pes mitjà es va a anar tot el camí fins al pes pesat i guanyar un títol mundial i en aquests dies la millor barallat contra els millors, Roy Jones per a mi és un dels millors boxejadors de tots els temps i per estar al mateix projecte de llei com ho és tot el crèdit a la MBC (Malta Comissió de Boxa), Stephen Vaughan i Francis Warren i jo no puc donar-los les gràcies i tots els involucrats en aquest esdeveniment massiu suficient i, òbviament, per deixar-me barallar en l'esdeveniment ".

 

Khan després va passar xerrada sobre el seu oponent al setembre 12º - Isaac Quaye

 

"Tinc el ple respecte d'Isaac Quaye, ell té un bon historial, que ha estat a la millor i és un difícil ghanesa com la coneixem, així que vingui setembre 12º estarem llestos per a ell.

 

No puc creure això, que ha estat un viatge curt, sinó un dolç viatge, l'únic moment difícil que he tingut va ser el temps fora del ring, Jo tenia una bretxa d'uns tres anys, però, òbviament, el CBM, tots els involucrats amb el CBM i l'equip m'han reunit al voltant i em va donar aquestes oportunitats.

 

La meva última baralla em va donar l'oportunitat d'aconseguir el meu primer cinturó (Mestres Internacionals) de la meva carrera, així que endavant i cap amunt.

 

No miro més enllà de qualsevol oponent i sempre entrenament en conseqüència, sabem Isaac Quaye és un rival difícil i en termes de rànquing mundial que és molt més alt que jo,, pel que és una victòria, guanyar per a mi perquè jo prepararé, de la mateixa manera que totes les baralles, com si jo fos el més feble, sens dubte que vindrà en com el favorit i mirar a mi i la multitud trastornar.

 

Tinc el ple respecte per ell fos del ring, però a l'interior de l'anell no tinc pietat per a ningú, Vull anar en el seu i causar danys com vull guanyar, així que seguirem endavant ".

Khan Reigns Supreme – Topples Soloninkini, Now Eyes Further Title Challenges

Leave a comment

 

 

Bradford’s sensational Bantamweight prospect Tasif Khan secured his first Championship accolade, el títol de Màster Internacional de pes gall, 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, després d'un any sabàtic dos anys l'esport.

 

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.

 

Dissabte passat, 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 i 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.

 

"Sí, 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, endavant i cap amunt.

 

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, Riu (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 comercial Recuperació a Bradford, Els advocats de Broadway a Oldham, Kesser Joieries a Bradford i Vyomax Suplements de 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.”

Khan-Soloninkini Battle For Title Supremacy In London This Saturday

Leave a comment

 

 

Bradford’s exciting Bantamweight prospect TASIF KHAN is set to challenge for his first title aquest dissabte, 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 el dimarts and now the fight is set and ready to go, No puc esperar.

 

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, Estic llest i amb moltes ganes d'anar, 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 comercial Recuperació a Bradford, Els advocats de Broadway a Oldham, Kesser Joieries a Bradford i Vyomax Suplements de Manchester, they’ve been brilliant getting behind me so I can concentrate on my boxing.

Khan Marxes On - victòria per TKO sobre Miko Porta, 02 de maig Títol Shot In London

Leave a comment

El Divendres de nit Bradford Tasif Khan va anotar un altre sensacional primera victòria d'atur ronda, aquesta vegada sobre la República Txeca Ladislav Miko, al Stephen Vaughan promogut esdeveniment Xarxa Mist al Hall Central Grand a Liverpool.

 

Des de la campana inicial era Miko que era el més agressiu, portant la lluita a Khan, No obstant això, en fer-ho, el lluitador Txeca jugar directament en les mans de l'home Bradford.

 

Khan havia esperat Miko per iniciar ràpid i, com a tal, quan el lluitador Txeca avançar ràpidament, Khan simplement ballava a un costat i deixar que esquinçar amb un tret al cos.

 

El llenguatge corporal de Miko va deixar ben clar que havia estat ferit, així que no és d'estranyar que quan va entrar dur i ràpid de nou que l'expert Khan va utilitzar una tàctica similar, aquesta vegada llisqui cap a la dreta i de permetre extreure amb un altre cop al cos, seguit per un scintillatingly ràpid salva a dues mans per al cos i el cap.

 

Entorn de la segona marca de quaranta-cinc, Miko, que clarament no havia après a ser una mica cautelós, va fer un altre atac contundent, aquesta vegada, però Khan va tirar un jab sòlid, seguit d'un uppercut i després simplement plantat seus peus i posar tot el poder en un raig ràpid ganxo d'esquerra, per enviar al noi Txeca a la lona.

 

Miko va aconseguir fer el recompte, però segons més tard entrem directament en un altre gran esquerra al cos. Aquesta vegada Miko realment va lluitar per fer el recompte, només la gestió per fer-ho, però era molt inestable sobre els seus peus, deixant àrbitre Jimmy Byrne altra opció que onejar la baralla fos en el minut quinze segona marca de la primera ronda.

 

Immediatament després de rebre els llorers del vencedor Khan va ser informat pel seu equip que anava a arribar a lluitar pel seu primer guardó Campionat, el títol de Màster Internacional de pes gall, en la seva pròxima sortida planificada, que estarà al Billy James-Elliott i Mark Lyons promoguts SENYOR DELS ANELLS esdeveniment a York Hall a Londres al maig 2nd.

 

Després de rebre aquesta notícia Khan va parlar breument sobre la lluita, així com la seva pròxima baralla pel títol.

 

"Sí brillant, era simplement genial.

 

No em puc queixar que no va durar una ronda, Hauria preferit que havia anat en una mica més de temps, Vull dir que era un 6 rounds i realment m'hagués agradat aconseguir algunes rondes sota la meva cinturó, però com he dit abans que no et paguen hores extres en aquest joc.

 

Sabíem que anava a començar ràpid i córrer perquè el pla era treballar fora del meu jab per detenir, bàsicament per intentar aconseguir els sis rondes sota la meva cinturó.

 

No sabia molt va ser així com ell realment va venir a mi molt més ràpid del que s'esperava, en canvi em vaig adaptar i ho vaig sorprendre amb un xut, Veig les seves cames sivella una mica, però ell es va quedar dret.

 

És un lluitador joc, la majoria de la gent s'hauria fet enrere per donar-se temps per recuperar-se, no li va tornar a mi amb força de nou, que em va donar l'oportunitat de boxejar una mica més i que li permeten a l'entrar de nou en.

 

Vaig agafar el bo amb el ganxo i després el cop al cos, que va descendir amb.

 

Llavors vaig fer més o menys el mateix després de la represa, encara que no crec que jo li havia agafat tan bé com la primera vegada, però quan es va aixecar no crec que ell volia saber més, fins i tot si l'àrbitre hagués deixar continuar.

 

Esperem endavant i cap amunt ara, He estat parlant amb el meu equip i han dit que tenim una baralla pel títol organitzada pel maig 2nd a York Hall, mateixa nit que Mayweather-Pacquiao baralla, així que espero que vaig a recollir el meu primer títol, els Mestres Internacionals, i portar-lo de tornada a Bradford.

 

Com es pot veure als meus fans van acudir en vigor i fer un munt de soroll, tots són de primera fila, estimen al seu boxa, és una ciutat de Bradford boxa, només cal aconseguir més concerts allà.

 

Els meus fans són genials, viatgen a veure, l'última vegada va ser a Londres, aquesta vegada Liverpool i òbviament és hora de tornar a Londres de nou al maig 2nd.

 

De moment no he tingut l'oportunitat de triar on barallo, espero que si guanyo el títol potser puguem aconseguir un promotor per muntar un espectacle a Bradford així que fins i tot més de les meves fans tindran l'oportunitat de veure de nou.

 

Estic agraït pel meu equip, la capacitació va ser molt ben, Em sento fort, Em sento bé i els aficionats que surten a la força per donar suport a mi se suma al fet que.

 

Els meus patrocinadors, Kingsland comercial Recuperació a Bradford, Els advocats de Broadway a Oldham, Kesser Joieries a Bradford i Vyomax Suplements de Manchester, han estat absolutament genial.

 

Aquests nois m'han estat donant suport fins, que li treu molt de la pressió perquè pugui concentrar-me en la meva boxa.

 

Una vegada més he d'agrair als meus fans, que en realitat són la millor, que m'han seguit a Londres i per descomptat aquí a Liverpool, tot i que el trànsit era dolent que tots van fer aquí aquesta nit i realment tinc darrere meu, fent un munt de soroll, que és una mica com els aficionats al futbol sent el dotzè home en el camp de futbol, el que realment t'inspira, aixeca l'escolti a tots els fans animant-te, brillant, simplement brillant ".
