Dodson-ek eta Economides-ek Vaughan-en izarra burutu zuten Liverpooleko maiatzaren 23an.
Stephen Vaughan Liverpooleko sustatzaile ospetsua argi dago langa igotzeko, Small Box Boxing ekitaldietarako, maila oso berrira, bere azken eskaintzarekin, 'ERA BERRIA - Boxeo Profesionalaren Arratsaldea' izenarekin, Liverpooleko Grand Central Hall aretoan egiten dena, larunbatean 23rd Maiatza 2015.
Vaughanen aurreko ekitaldian izan zirenentzat, Grand Central aretoan martxoan bertan, ez da azpimarratu behar ekitaldia zein ona izan den.
Maiatza 23rd asko agintzen du, askoz gehiago, paperean ERA BERRIAren itxura da benetako areto txiki klasikoa izateaz gain, baina badirudi litekeena dela aretoen promozio txiki gutxik bat etor litezkeen estandar berria ezartzea ere.
Hamabi kanporaketa txartelaren buruan Liverpooleko Tony Dodson oso propioa da, nor itzuliko da jaioterrian lehen aldiz Darren Stubbs irabazi zuenetik IBO pisu arineko nazioarteko titulua lortzeko, atzera urrian 2011.
On egin 23rd Maiatza, Dodson, aurreko borrokan puntu sendoen garaipena lortu zuen inguruko aurkari gogorrenetako bati – bihurri, baina oso iraunkorrak, Jody Meikle, Andrejs Pokumeiko Letoniako kolpe handiaren aurrean izango da.
Iazko martxoan, Pokumeikok puntu sendo ona lortu zuen Ilford-en Kevin Greenwood-i Londresko York Hall-en, hau da, bere erregistroan lortutako puntu bakarra, beste garaipen guztiak gelditzeko garaipenaren bidez iritsi dira.
Laguntza nagusia Chester-en WBF kontinentearteko txapelduna Paul 'Spartan' Economides da, txapelketarik gabeko lehiaketan, Sergey Tasimov estoniarraren aurka.
Vaughan-en aurreko ekitaldira itzuli ginen Economidesek goi mailako beste emanaldi bat eskaini zuen, Ghanak bi aldiz egin zuen Isaac Quaye Mankomunitateko titularraren aurka, bigarren itzulian geldikako garaipen izugarria lortzeko bidean.
Irabazi zehatz horrek asko esaten du Economidesen boterearen inguruan, Quaye ez baitzen gelditu aurreko hogeita sei sei borroketan, Quaye kontuan hartuta balentria batzuk borrokan aritu dira Don Broadhurst Mankomunitateko txapeldunarekin, British, Mankomunitateko eta Europako txapelduna Kevin Satchell eta WBO Europako txapelduna Iain Butcher beste izar aipagarrien artean.
Zer gehiago, Maiatzaren 2nd Ekonomidak hobe joan ziren, Txekiar Errepublikako Petr Gyna lehen itzuliko geldialdi klinikoarekin, Londreseko York aretoan.
Tasimov trottean globoa, Erresuma Batuko izar onenetako batzuen aurka borrokatu du aurretik, tartean, Derry Mathews WBAko munduko txapelduna, Lee Askins britainiar eta europar txapelduna eta datorren IBF Munduko titulua, baita Nicky Booth britainiar eta mankomunitateko txapeldun izandakoa ere.
Karta gehienek, aldiz, goi mailako etxeko norgehiagoka edo bi izaten dituzte ikuskizunean gora, laguntza txartela bertako "etxe" borrokalariek osatzen dute normalean, beren erregistroak behin-behinean eraikitzen. Ez da txartel hau; azpiko txarteletako hiru borroketan soilik agertzen da talentua, gainerakoak jada ondo finkatutako perspektiba eta izarrak dira.
Txarteleko partida interesgarrienetako batek Liverpooleko Nick Quigleyren aurka jartzen du ... asmatu duzu, aipatutako Jody Meikle.
Quigleyk azken aurkariaren lan laburra egin zuen, Ludvik Gina, sentsazionalki txekiarra lehen itzuliko berrogeita hamabost segundotan soilik geldituz.
Ez pentsa gauza bera gertatuko denik Meikleren aurka, baina espero al duzu boxeo benetan dibertigarriko sei txanda, zenbait bihurrikeriarekin efektu maximoa lortzeko, Meikle-k Onder Ozgul-en aurka egindako azken irteeran oinarrituta York aretoan maiatzean 2nd.
Hurrengoa munduko Kick Boxing izar arrakastatsuenetako bat ikusteko aukera zirraragarria da, hamahiru aldiz Marlon Hunt munduko txapelduna, boxeo profesionalen mailara igarotzea espero zuen, Letoniako Uldis Pucensen aurka.
Hunt-ek duela gutxi esan zuen “Irabazi ondoren 13 Profesionalen Munduko tituluak Full Contact Kickboxing-ean, K – 1Rules eta Muay Thai eta Unifying the Big 5 WBC, ISKA, ZURE PRO, IKF & WKA eta maila ertaineko eta baxuko beste munduko titulu batzuk eta Boxeo Semi Pro hainbat titulu irabaztea iritsi da Boxeo Profesionalaren mundua hartzeko. "
Hunt-ek argi utzi du ez duela pro boxeoarekin ari zenbakiak osatzeko, ehuneko ehunean lau diziplinetako munduko txapeldun izatea erabaki du.
Munduko txapeldunen gaian, Chester-en Munduko Boxeo Federazioko welter pisuko munduko txapelduna Chris Goodwin berriro ere ekintzetara itzuli da, txapelketarik gabeko borrokaldi batean, Finsbury parkearen aurka, Londresko Mark 'The Flash' Alexander.
Goodwin, bi mailako munduko txapelduna, bere lehen agerraldia egingo du Georgiako Mikheil Avakyan irabazi zuenetik abuztuan WBF World koro preziatua irabazi zuenetik.
Alexander, duela gutxi arte Amerikan entrenatzen eta borrokan aritu zena, hirugarren txandako geldialdiko garaipena lortu zuen Tadas Stulginskasen aurka, joan den urrian Londresko York Hall-en Erresuma Batuko ekintzara itzultzean.
Birmingham-en garaitu gabeko Arin sentsazioa Antonio Counihan berriro itzuli da 'Igerilekuan, oraingoan Janis Puksins-i aurre egiteko.
Counihan, Ingalaterrako afizionatuen kapitain ohia, sentsazionala baino ez da izan aurreko sei bolada bakoitzean, distantzia barruan bost geldituz, hala ere, bere azken emanaldia izan zen Brummie gaztea goi mailara igotzeko asmoa zuela frogatu zuena.
Martxoan berriro, Counihanek aurretik irabazi gabeko Lukas Radic txekiarra hartu zuen, Counihanek ez zuen Radic bakarrik irabazi, lehen itzuliko bi minutu eta hogeita zortzi segundotan bakarrik suntsitu zuen.
Puksins britainiar zaleek nahiko ezaguna izan beharko luketen beste munduko trotter bat da, Ricky Owen Prizefighter-eko irabazle ohiaren borrokan aritu ondoren, WBU ohia, WBF, WBC eta Prizefighter txapelduna Choi Tseveenpurev, James Dickens txapeldun britainiarra eta Jason Cunningham Commonwealth izenburuko lehiakidea, besteak beste.
Mundu mailako izarantz abiatzen den beste gazte bat Liverpoolen dago, David Agadzhanyan errusiar lumaren pisua, maiatzean Isaac Osuwu Ghanako txapeldun ohia izango du aurkari 23rd.
Counihan bezala, Agadzhanyanek aurreko aurkari bat izan ezik guztiak gelditu ditu eta kasualitatez urrutira joan zenaren aurkako borroka, aurretik irabazi gabeko beste irtenbide bat Daniel Bazo, Vaughanen azken ekitaldian agertu zen.
Zer borroka bat, benetan berezia zen zerbait eta bertaratutako askok etorkizun hurbilean berriro parekatzea gustatuko litzaiekeen borroka., Esan beharra dago emaitza Agadzhanyan talentu izugarria dela ziurrenik, litekeena da Gennady Golovkin eta Sergey Kovaleven urratsak jarraitzea – bai, berezia da hori.
Irabazi zuenetik, Agadzhanyanek erabat suntsitu zuen Txekiar Errepublikako Josef Redlich, mutil txekiarra hiru aldiz jarrita lehen itzuliko bi minutu eta hogeita bost segundoko markan gelditu aurretik, Londreseko York aretoan, maiatzean 2nd.
Liverpooleko britainiar ohia, Tony Moran Mankomunitateko eta WBF Munduko tituluaren erronka bere jaioterriko lehen borrokarako prest dago Czaba Andras Olympian irabazi zuenetik. 2005.
Maiatzaren On 23rd Moranek Blackpool-eko Mathew 'The Rock' Ellis Estatu Batuetako WBC Estatu Batuetako tituludun ohia izango du aurrean.
Lee Churcher Galeseko pisu ertaineko txapeldunak maiatzean egin zuen Liverpooleko lehen agerraldia 23rd, Zaurs Sadihovs letoniarraren aurka.
Martxoan, Churcherrek Nottinghameko Matt Scriven hartu zuen, bi jatorrizko aurkariek Erresuma Batura egin zituzten hegaldiak egin ondoren.
Esan behar dut zalantza dudala partida haiek Battle Royale-tik gertu egongo zirenik gau horretan borrokatu ziren bi hauek. Borroka estua izan zen, bi protagonistek dena eskertzen duten jendetzaren aurrean.
Churcherrek puntuetan irabazi zuen, baina esan beharra dago benetako irabazleak gauean zaleak izan zirela, hori oso zirraragarria baitzen, ekintza borroka guztiak.
Sadihov, lau irabazi ditu, bi errekor galdu zituen, hala ere, garaipenetako bakoitza lehen itzuliko geldialdiko garaipenen moduan iritsi zen, tartean, urtarrilean Olegs Asejevs-en KO osoa.
Maiatzean bere hirugarren irteera profesionala egiten 23rd zulaketa handia izango da Liverpudlian Featherweight Jay Carney.
Carney gaztea urteko aurkikuntzetako bat izaten ari da, bi irteera, bi geldialdi zoragarri irabazi ditu.
Abenduan, Carneyk Patrik Gadzo erabat gainditu zuen lehen itzuliko minutu bateko eta hogeita hamabi segundoko marka gelditu aurretik..
Ondoren, martxoan, garaipen bikain horren ondoren, hirugarren txandan gelditu zen garaipena lortu zuen esperientzia handiko Petr Gyna-ri. Esan beharra dago borroka handia izan zela, Carney gaztea askoz lasaiagoa zen eta primeran aritu zen, borrokak iraun zuen ia segundo guztietan Gyna menderatzen.
Carneyren aurkaria maiatzean 23rd Dmitry Gutsman da, beste puncher handi bat da, bere errekorra, berriz, bi garaipen eta lau galdu ditu, kontuan hartu behar da garaipenak biak lehen itzuliko geldialdira iritsi zirela.
Maiatzean bere hirugarren irteera profesionala ere eginez 23rd Liverpooleko Lee Boyce da, nork hartuko duen Scunthorperen Matthew Pepper.
Martxoan, Boycek literalki suntsitu zuen Matus Olah bota zuen lehen boterearekin, lehen itzuliko hogei segundo eskasen ondoren Olah jaitsi eta atera zuen gorputz arrakalatsua.
Kontuan izan behar da Boyce-tik botatako botereak benetan Olah-ren saihetsa pitzatu zuela, beraz, ekintza handirik ikusi ez genuen arren, badakigu zein indartsuak diren Boyceren kolpeak.
Azkenean profesionalean debuta egin zuen 23rd Maiatzean Liverpooleko pisu oneko Dayle Gallagher da, Nottinghameko Matt Scriven esperientziadunaren aurka doana.
Gallagher boxeolari gaztea da eta Scriven etorri bezain gogorra da, beraz, espero su artifizialak behatzetara joaten direnean.
Horra hor, txartel bikain bat, argi eta garbi borroka gau bikaina izango denarentzat, beraz, badakizu sarrera horiek lortzeko garaia dela, galdu egiten baduzu, damutuko zara.

Khan Reigns Supreme – Topples Soloninkini, Now Eyes Further Title Challenges
Bradford’s sensational Bantamweight prospect Tasif Khan secured his first Championship accolade, Nazioarteko Masters bantamweight titulua, 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, Bi urteko kirol batetik sabatiko bat jarraituz.
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.
Joan den larunbatean, 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 eta 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.
"Bai, 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, aurrera eta gorantz.
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 Business berreskuratzea Bradford, Broadway Oldham Gurasoak, Kesser Bradford eta Vyomax Suplementos Manchester bertatik Bitxigileak, 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.”

Fight txostena: Ozgul and Khan Secure Titles In York Hall Thriller
Report by: Gianluca (River) Di Caro
Dezagun aurre, with the amount of column inches dedicated to Mayweather-Pacquiao over the past few weeks, you could easily be forgiven thinking that there were no other boxing events that took place on May 2nd.
Beno, there was another fight card, and I’m pleased to say that I was at that event – the Mark Lyons and Billy James-Elliott promoted Lords of the Ring event at the iconic York Hall in London.
OK, admittedly York Hall in Bethnal Green doesn’t have anywhere near the cachet of being at such a mega fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, but when it comes to drama and excitement, sorry you just can’t beat small hall boxing, especially when it’s at York Hall.
When the event was announced it was due to feature fourteen bouts, but immediately after May-Pac was announced a significant number of the bouts were cancelled, as the fighters wanted to be ringside in Vegas, then in the final build up further fights were off the card, due to injuries, leaving a seven card fight show on the night, or was it.
The card was further reduced on the day, after one of the fights was cancelled on safety grounds – due to a 5kg difference in the weight between the two debuting fighters – and if that wasn’t bad enough Manny Muhammad’s opponent, Rafael Snow failed to turn up, leaving just five fights on the night.
First up was a six rounder between Liverpool based Russian hot prospect David Agadzhanyan, against Czech Republic’s Josef Redlich, who stepped in at the last minute to save the bout, following Ghana’s Isaac Owusu being forced to pull out due to illness.
It took Agadzhanyan just forty five seconds to send Redlich to the canvas for the first time and about the same again to put him down a second time.
Redlich was plain outclassed so no surprise that when he went down for the third time that referee Ken Curtis decided to call a halt to proceedings on the two minute and twenty five seconds mark.
I’ve seen Agadzhanyan in action a couple of times, including the excellent win over then unbeaten Daniel Bazo back in March, so was really looking forward to seeing him in action against Owusu, a tough uncompromising former Ghanaian Champion and Commonwealth title eliminator challenger, but that’ll have to wait until later this month when the rescheduled bout takes place in Liverpool.
Next up was WBF Inter-Continental Champion Paul Economides, ez-txapelketan sei borobilagoa batean, against another late replacement, Czech Republic’s Petr Gyna, following former British Champ Andy Bell pulling out the week prior and then the original replacement pulling out just two days before the show.
Economides is another class act, so no surprise that Gyna was on the canvas within just thirty seconds, on the restart Gyna decided that attack is the best form of defense, however in taking the fight to Economides he played straight into his hands, literally as Economides punished him with a big right, that sent the Czech down to the canvas for a second and final time, on the one minute and twenty five second mark.
With both the opening fights finishing early and the live TV broadcast not due to start until 9pm, the promoters had no option but to have quite long interval before the next bout, a six round Light Heavyweight contest between Champions TKO’s unbeaten Hackney based Turkish prospect Onder Ozgul and the entertainer himself Jody Meikle.
Throughout the first four rounds Ozgul just walked Meikle down, letting rip with massive right hands at every conceivable opportunity, Meikle is as tough as they come and seemed content to absorb the punishment dished out by the man dubbed ‘Little Mike’ by the Turkish fans.
Ever the joker, Meikle played down the punishment he was taking, happily playing to the crowd, as well as infuriating his opponent, by pulling faces and insinuating that there was no power in the Turkish lads shots, however by the fact that Meikle had toned down his antics, clearly showed that Ozgul shots were indeed having the desired effect.
Meikle toned down the playfulness of his tactics even further in the fifth, as Ozgul stepped up his attacks, putting even more power into his shots.
Right from the start of the sixth it was clear that Ozgul was intent on punishing Meikle even further, backing the Scunthorpe man onto the ropes before letting rip with big double handed flurries, one of which, a cracking body shot, literally knocking the wind out of Meikle and forcing him to take to one knee.
On the restart Ozgul went in for the finish, this time Meikle went defensive, no further playing to the crowd, to see it through to the final bell.
After six highly entertaining rounds Referee Ken Curtis scored the bout 60-53 in favour of Ozgul.
I thoroughly enjoyed the fight, I know it wasn’t a classic, but boy oh boy it was very entertaining.
The fourth bout of the night see Bradford’s Tasif Khan in Championship action for the first time, against Georgia’s Mikheil Soloninkini, for the International Masters Silver bantamweight title.
Khan started fast, boxing beautifully behind his jab the Bradford man kept his slightly more experienced foe on the back foot for the majority of the bout.
By midway point Khan slowed the pace slightly, at the same time keeping the pressure on Soloninkini, however about midway through the sixth, during a routine exchange Khan was a little slow bringing up his gloves, leaving an opening for the Georgian to let rip with a big right, which sent Khan to the canvas.
On the restart Soloninkini went full out in attack, Khan remained calm and got behind his jab again, the Georgian was well hyped and continued to come forward at pace before throwing huge bombs.
During these skirmishes Khan sensibly grabbed hold until referee Lee Murtagh issued the order break. This tactic worked and Khan was able to clear his head enough to turn control back round to himself.
Khan had his hands full for the final three rounds though, as Soloninkini had the bit between his teeth and was pushing hard, however Khan is a cool character and seemed content to box of the back foot each time the Georgian made a forceful foray.
After ten rounds of excellent boxing, the judges scorecards read – Ken Curtis 99-94, Obie Garnett 98-90 eta Matt Hamilton 98-91, all in favour of Tasif Khan.
Jennifer Burton, the Northern Region Secretary of the Malta Boxing Commission, presented the familiar blue International Masters belt to the victorious Tasif Khan.
Have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the fight, even though it was quite one sided for a lot of the time, let’s face it that’s not a statement on the quality of Soloninkini, as his pedigree is well known, this kid’s a tough nut to break, as proved by having taken Jamie Williams the distance, when they fought for the Bronze Masters back in March, as well as fought the sensational Charlie Edwards a couple of weeks later, but to my mind the one-sidedness of the fight as well as the result shows just how good Tasif Khan fought.
The headline fight of the night see a rematch between Champions TKO’s unbeaten Hackney based Turkish prospect Siar Ozgul, yep brother to the aforementioned Onder, against Nottingham’s Matt Scriven and this time there was a Championship on the line – The MBC International Welterweight title.
When these two first fought, back in October last year, it was an out and out war, Ozgul won but the rounds were so close it could have been a very different result.
The bout started in a very similar manner to their October showdown, neither man wanting to concede any ground, however just before the end of the first round Ozgul let rip with a massive right to Scriven’s body, which forced the Nottingham man to cover up to see the round to it’s conclusion.
The shot to the body must have really hurt Scriven as he seemed more intent on defense, rather than full on attack, from the start of the second, a pattern that remained for the rest of the bout.
Ozgul made most of the running throughout, however Scriven more than held his own during the many skirmishes that ensued, although have to admit he was a little more cautious than during the opening round.
After ten rounds of superb boxing the judges scorecards were read out – Lee Murtagh and Matt Hamilton scored the bout 100-90 and Obie Garnett 100-88 all in favour of Siar Ozgul.
This was followed by the presentation of the MBC International belt to Siar Ozgul by his fellow Champions TKO gym mate and the current MBC International Super Bantamweight Champion Marianne Marston.
All in all I thoroughly enjoyed the event, especially the final three bouts, however I was a bit disappointed that some of the planned fights, such as those featuring Iain Weaver, Antonio Counihan, Mark Prince, George Hillyard and the aforementioned Marianne Marston, failed to materialize, because to my mind if they had taken place I feel this almost certainly would have been one of the best shows at York Hall this year, as it was it still was a highly enjoyable and entertaining evening of pugilistic action and a fitting prelude to the May-Pac fight, which promoters Mark Lyons and Billy James-Elliott arranged for the boxers, their teams and attendees of the event to watch live via satellite at a private function room.

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 Larunbat honetan, 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, Bethnal Green-en, 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 asteartean and now the fight is set and ready to go, Ezin dut itxaron.
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, Prest eta raring joan naiz, 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 Business berreskuratzea Bradford, Broadway Oldham Gurasoak, Kesser Bradford eta Vyomax Suplementos Manchester bertatik Bitxigileak, they’ve been brilliant getting behind me so I can concentrate on my boxing.
