Padraig McCrory is excited to test himself against someone that shares the same ambition as him as he prepares to face Germaine Brown on Friday's huge #MTKFightNight.
Unbeaten super-middleweights collide as McCrory (11-0, 5 KOs) meets Brown (9-0, 3 KOs) at the University of Bolton Stadium, live on IFL TV.
It sees Irish star McCrory look to continue his rise through the 168lb division, and he's looking forward to testing his skills against a tough opponent.
McCrory said: "I'm super excited, and I'm thankful that I've been given another opportunity in the current climate to progress my career.
"It was a great win for me last time out against a good opponent. I put on a massive performance and I want to continue that. I've watched some of Brown and I think he's a good fighter that is ambitious like myself, so I look forward to the challenge.
"The gym has been flying at the moment. Lewis Crocker fought last week, I'm out on Friday and then Owen O'Neill on Saturday, so it's been good that we've been able to bounce off each other and push each other in every session.
"I'm not looking past this fight at all, but if all goes as planned, then I would love to push towards some big titles next."
Elsewhere on Friday’s massive event, Lee McGregor challenges Karim Guerfi for his European bantamweight title, Maxi Hughes faces Paul Hyland Jnr for the vacant British lightweight title, Jamie Robinson fights Billy Allington, Shabaz Masoud returns against Louis Norman, Eryk Apresyan takes on Nathan Bendon, and Sean Duffy squares off with Paul Holt.
