Josh Padley and Aqib Fiaz shared a tense final stare down after both making weight today in Sheffield ahead of their EBU European Super Featherweight Championship clash at the Utilita Arena – live worldwide on the Global Home of Boxing, DAZN.
Champion Padley insisted at yesterday’s Press Conference that he will not be beaten in front of his Yorkshire faithful this weekend as Fiaz warned he will ‘spark out’ the former electrician.
Elsewhere on the card, undefeated prospect Ibraheem Sulaimaan (10-0, 5 KOs) challenges Ibrahim Nadim (16-1, 2 KOs) for the English Super Featherweight Title.
Teenage Heavyweight sensation – and proud York native – Leo Atang (6-0, 5 KOs) is out to extend his scintillating start to life in the professional ranks hen he faces France’s Fouad Shaili (5-4-2, 3 KOs).
Middleweight rivals Aaron Bowen (7-1, 5 KOs) and Troy Coleman (15-4-1, 7 KOs) collide earlier in the evening, with rising stars Adam Maca (5-0, 5 KOs) and Connor Mitchell (2-0, 1 KO) both out to stretch their respective winning records.
