Ryan Walsh-Lewis Paulin and Ohara Davies-Miguel Vazquez LIVE on ESPN+ Friday, June 28 PhilBoxing.com Tue, 25 Jun 2019 Scheduled four-bout stream from London?s York Hall set to begin at 3 p.m. ET/ 12 p.m. PT (June 24, 2019) ? British featherweight champion Ryan Walsh will make the sixth defense of his title in a 12-round showdown against the unbeaten Lewis Paulin on the latest edition of #MTKFightNight Friday, June 28 at York Hall in London. In the 10-round super lightweight co-feature, loquacious contender Ohara ?Two Tanks? Davies will take on former lightweight world champion Miguel Vazquez. Walsh-Paulin and Davies-Vazquez will headline a scheduled four-bout stream on ESPN+ ? the leading multi-sport streaming service ? beginning at 3 p.m. ET/12 p.m. PT. Walsh (23-2-2, 11 KOs) has held the British featherweight title since 2015, when he edged Samir Mouneimne by split decision to win the vacant belt. He is unbeaten in three bouts ? all defenses of the British title ? since losing a split decision in October 2016 to Dennis Ceylan for the vacant European featherweight title. Paulin (12-0, 3 KOs), from Edinburgh, Scotland, is taking a massive step up in class, as he has only two wins against foes with winning records. He is two fights removed from winning the Scottish featherweight title via decision against then-unbeaten Stephen Tiffney. Davies (18-2, 14 KOs) turned pro in 2014 following a brief amateur career and became one of Great Britain?s leading prospects following a 15-0 start to his pro career. He stumbled in a bid for the Commonwealth super lightweight title against Josh Taylor, suffering a pair of knockdowns en route to a seventh-round stoppage loss. Davies rebounded with a trio of wins before dropping a competitive decision to Jack Catterall last October. Vazquez (41-7, 15 KOs), from Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, famously lost a split decision to Canelo Alvarez in his professional debut in 2006. In August 2010, he won the vacant IBF world lightweight title with a unanimous decision over Ji Hoon Kim. He would go on to defend the title six times before dropping a razor-thin split decision to Mickey Bey in September 2014. He is 7-3 since losing the world title, most recently upsetting Ghislain Maduma by split decision in Maduma?s adopted hometown of Montreal. Friday?s stream will also include: In a 10-round showdown featuring a pair of unbeaten super lightweights, Daniel ?Danny Darko? Egbunike (4-0, 3 KOs) will take on Martin McDonagh (5-0, 0 KOs). Former European super lightweight champion and recent world title challenger Anthony Yigit (23-1-1, 8 KOs) will fight Siar Ozgul (15-3, 3 KOs) in an eight-rounder.  |
