The Newcastle faithful will be baying for blood after being silenced by the Argentine’s masterful performance back in June. Ponce showed Ritson that he still has a way to go to get to the world level but Ritson still has time to make the adjustments. It is imperative that Ritson gets in there and makes a statement upon his comeback from only the second loss of his career. On paper, this is a good test for Ritson, albeit one he should be passing. Back in 2013, Lundy ran Viktor Postol to a close points decision, before years later stepping in the ring with Terence Crawford.ĭespite accumulating a few more losses at the tail end of his career, Lundy has shown he can still beat good fighters, earning a points win over Ezequiel Victor Fernandez back in 2020. Hank Lundy at 37 years of age, provides a vastly experienced opponent who may well be in the autumn of his career but has very much fought at the world level. Ritson has shown excellent boxing and a good amount of power over the years, but at 28, he has been found out to be short of world level in the Super-Lightweight division.
Georgia O’Connor (0-0-0) v TBA – Super Welterweight DivisionĪlong with Savannah Marshall, this fight will certainly be the one that the Newcastle natives will be most passionately invested in.Īfter being comprehensively beaten in his step up to the world stage against Jeremias Ponce, this fight signifies the start of a rebuild job for ‘The Sandman’. As a result, this fight should offer a stern test to Hunter, particularly over four rounds where there is so little room for error. Most of Bavington’s wins have come from the Midlands small hall scene but her two defeats both came against top prospects in the form of Cherrelle Brown and Sandy Ryan.
HUGHIE FURY PROFESSIONAL
However, this fight offers a sizeable step up in class early in the 26-year-old’s professional career as she has only previously fought fighters with heavy losing records, whereas Bavington arrives in Newcastle with four wins under her belt with two defeats and two draws. Following a scare in her third professional outing against Elsa Hemat, she bounced back with a comfortable victory over well-travelled Klaudia Vigh. Since debuting in 2019, Hunter has shown herself to be a slick and effective boxer despite not showing all of her attributes as of yet. Local Welterweight April Hunter appears on the card with what is expected to be a four-rounder against Wolverhampton’s Kirstie Bavington. April Hunter (4-0-0) v Kirstie Bavington (4-2-2) – Welterweight Division Here is what you can expect from the BOXXER Promotions event in Newcastle on Saturday evening. There is a tremendous card scheduled including Savannah Marshall, Lewis Ritson and Chris Eubank Jr as well as a host of North East prospects. That being said, Fury did put in a pretty impressive performance against experienced Polish boxer Mariusz Wach in his last outing. Since losing arguably his biggest test to date back in the summer of 2019 against Alexander Povetkin, COVID-19 and other factors have reduced ‘The Fist of Fury’ to relative inactivity, with this being only his third fight in almost 26 months. Whilst a number of those scorecards were somewhat wide, Fury was not disgraced in any of those fights and even had a card scored 114-114 in his clash with Parker. Sitting on a record of 25-3, Fury’s three losses have all come against world-class opposition in the form of Joseph Parker, Kubrat Pulev and Alexander Povetkin. Hughie Fury graced the professional scene at the incredibly young age of 18, and whilst his success may not be on the same level as Tyson Fury’s, he has a good few years left in his career.
Following the success of his heralded cousin just a week ago, Hughie Fury will look to further his own career as he takes on experienced gatekeeper Christian Hammer.
