Weaver Back In UK ActionFaces Skripkins At York Hall This Saturday.

Former Team GB star Iain ‘The Blessed One’ Weaver is set for his first UK bout, since returning from America, #Tio ?i Venanta sabaton ĉe la Jorko Halo en Bethnal Green, where he will face Latvian Dinars Skripkins.

 

Weaver, who last fought at York Hall back in October 2013, has been establishing himself as one of the top prospects in the ultra competitive Super Featherweight division internationally.

 

Since his last visit to the home of boxing in the Capital City, Weaver has secured two excellent first class stoppage wins over Spain based Moroccan Hassan Elyatouti and Brazilian Edilson Rio.

 

En lia lasta vico, against Newark, New Jersey’s then unbeaten prospect Wanzell Ellison, Weaver was the victim of some good old fashioned home cooking of the scorecards, to blot his otherwise pristine record.

 

Now back on British soil once more Weaver, made it clear that he is determined to get a couple more good wins under his belt, before attempting to get a rematch against Ellison on neutral ground sometime next year.

 

“To say we were disappointed last time out is an understatement, I won that fight comfortably, yet only one judge scored it my way.

 

We’ll fight #?I tiu sabato and then have at least one more fight here, then we will be doing everything we can to secure a rematch, this time either here in the UK or maybe somewhere neutral like Germany.

 

Back to now though, I’m really looking forward to being back York Hall, I have such fond memories of fighting there.

 

There’s always a good atmosphere there, it really is a special place.

 

We don’t know too much about Dinars (Skripkins), but have heard he is a very tough kid.

 

Earlier this year he beat German prospect Tunahan Keser and from what we’ve heard that was a great fight and a fantastic performance by Dinars.

 

So we are not underestimating him one iota, but also know that he is beatable and that’s our plan, beat him and do it in style.”
