Kalle Sauerland, Global Head of Boxing at Wasserman, said: “it’s European fever pitch! Abass Baraou is on his way to becoming one of the best Super Welterweights in the world. His performance in Telford against Sam Eggington, was fantastic and you can expect more of the same this time out in Manchester. 

We’ve got a stacked undercard as well. Dan Toward, ten time national champion who will take another step up. Ben Marksby, still undefeated and looking like a fighter with serious potential. Plus a brewing rivalry between two top British fighters for the Commonwealth Silver title. This is what free-to-air boxing is all about!
