ALL FIGHTERS ON WEIGHT FOR BOXXER: BREAKTHROUGH
Coventry, England – (June 24 2022) – All fighters were on weight at today’s official BOXXER BREAKTHROUGH weigh ins in Coventry ahead of tomorrow night’s event at the Coventry SkyDome Arena, live on Sky Sports.
The card is packed with powerful young guns and rising stars of the sport, with Adam Azim, Karriss Artingstall and Dylan Cheema all looking on peak form and aiming to score big wins which will raise their profiles even further.
“He’s going to be reaching his heights by 21, 22,” said Azim’s coach Shane McGuigan. “I think he’ll be world champion as early as that. This is just a small step for him… I think there’s going to be a big knockout tomorrow night.”
Another showcase bout sees ‘Savage’ Sam Eggington, the UK’s most consistent crowd-pleaser, challenge Polish powerhouse Przemyslaw Zysk for the vacant IBO Super-Welterweight Championship.
“I think we all know what’s going to happen when I get in the ring. As long as I work on what I do well, we should have a good night,” said Eggington, with some degree of understatement.
BOXXER Founder and CEO Ben Shalom said he expects “absolute war tomorrow night” and a card which will deliver non-stop action.
