Preparations for the boxing showcase scheduled for October 17 at London's historic York Hall are nearing completion, with an exciting undercard beginning to take shape. This event promises thrilling encounters and significant matchups that will captivate boxing enthusiasts.
Among the highlighted bouts, an eliminator for the English middleweight title will feature the undefeated Jimmy Sains, boasting a 10-0 record with 9 KOs, against the formidable Troy Coleman, who holds a 14-3-1 record. Sains, a 24-year-old southpaw from Harold Wood, previously secured the Southern Area title by defeating Gideon Onyenani. Coleman, 30, from Burntwood, recently claimed the Midlands Area title after stopping Bradley Goldsmith. Another compelling domestic contest will see Shannon Ryan, 9-1, and Chloe Watson, 8-1, face off in a battle of determined fighters. Ryan, 28, is on a two-fight winning streak since her sole defeat for the British super flyweight title, while Watson, 25, is looking to rebound after losing her European flyweight title in her last outing. The card will also feature the emerging middleweight talent Emmanuel \"Leli\" Buttigieg, a 9-0 prospect from Newham.
