Six Of The Best ? Half Dozen TRAD TKO Boxers In Action At York Hall This Saturday PhilBoxing.com Tue, 21 Oct 2014 With over forty pro boxers training at the TRAD TKO Boxing Gym in Canning Town, it should come as no surprise that some weekends there would be a number of their young stars in action, however this weekend it?s not the normal two or three, it?s six, what?s more they?re all fighting on the same event at York Hall on Saturday night. The first TRAD TKO fighter to be in action on Saturday will be Hainult Cruiserweight Jerome Haywood, who will be making his professional debut against late replacement, Lithuania?s Rolandas Cesna. Brian O?Shaughnessy trained Haywood will have some extra help in his corner, no less than former British and European Cruiserweight Champion Terry Dunstan, who has been on hand to advise, as well as spar, throughout the Essex Boy?s fight preparations. Barry Smith trained Manny Muhammad will be looking to make it three wins out of three outings on Saturday. Back in March, Harrow based Muhammad scored a superb points victory, over previously unbeaten Vaidas Balciauskas, this win shot him up into the top half of the World rankings ? after just the one fight! In August Muhammad increased his ranking positon with another excellent points victory, over Ernestas Dapkus. Former Commonwealth Champion Mo Hussein has a growing stable of fighters under his control at the TRAD TKO, two of whom, brothers Onder and Siar Ozgul, will be in action at York Hall this Saturday. Onder, who has been dubbed ?Little Mike? by Turkish boxing fans - due to his fighting style being similar to that of Iron Mike Tyson - will be making his third pro outing on Saturday. On his debut Onder scored a shut out points victory over Dmitrij Kalinovskij, he followed this up a month later with a first round stoppage of Brighton?s Iain Jackson. On Saturday Onder was due to face Matthew Pepper, but unfortunately Pepper had to pull out - due his father being hospitalized with a serious illness - so unbeaten Karel Horejsek stepped in at late notice. Younger sibling Siar, who is currently 4-0 after top class points victories over Michal Vosyka, Chris Jenkinson, Tomas Samusas and William Wharburton - has also built up a strong following due to his all action boxing style. On Saturday night young Siar will face Nottingham?s Matt Scriven. The highly rated, former Team England Amateur Captain, Antonion Counihan steps up to his first six rounder, against seriously tough Lithuanian Simas Volosinas. Antonio, who is trained by his father Paul, scored three sensational wins - over Robin Deakin, Marcin Ficner and Tibor Szucs - since turning pro just one year ago, two of these wins came by way of stoppage, Deakin and Szucs, the other by a shut out points decision. Headlining the CAPITAL PUNISHMENT event is another TRAD TKO star ? British #1 Ranked (both Super Bantamweight & Pound-4-Pound) female boxer - Marianne ?Golden Girl? Marston. Marston, who is trained by Brian O?Shaughnessy, will be challenging Hungarian #1, European #3 and World #31 ranked Marianna Gulyas for the MBC International Super Bantamweight Championship. Marston may have a little extra pressure going into this title showdown, as news has just filtered through that should she win on Saturday that she will get to challenge for the WIBA World Super Bantamweight Championship, against current Champion Australia?s Shannon O?Connell, early in 2015. TRAD TKO head honcho Johnny Eames was clearly pleased to have so many of his charges in action this Saturday, as he said. ?It?s good to have so many of the boys, and girl, out this weekend. It just goes to show the depth of talent we have here at the TRAD TKO, on Saturday we?ll have one fighter, Jerome, debuting, Manny and Onder making their third pro outings, Siar in his final four rounder, this kid is more than ready to step up now, of course one of the boys is already stepping up, Antonio does his first six rounder on Saturday and to top it all our Marianne will be headlining the event and fighting for a title. Should be a great night of boxing, hopefully all our boys will keep their unbeaten records and Marianne will bring the belt home to the gym.? Tickets, priced ?35 (Standard Seated) and ?60 (Ringside) for the Dave Murphy Acourtier Events promoted CAPITAL PUNISHMENT, at York Hall in Bethnal Green on Saturday 25th October, are available direct from any of the boxers, at the TRAD TKO Gym, on-line at www.tkoboxoffice.com or call 07960 850645. www.tkoboxinggym.com  |
