Matty Harris is strapping on his gloves again, ready to shake up the heavyweight division on March 1 in Telford. It’s part of a night brimming with European title scuffles.
Also jumping into the mix at the Wasserman Boxing rumble at Telford International Centre is Dan Toward, a hotshot in British boxing who’s been tearing through the professional scene like a whirlwind.
These two are the opening acts for the EBU European Super Welterweight title scrap between Abass Baraou and Sam Eggington. This showdown, likely to send shockwaves, will hit your screens live and without costing a dime on Channel 5.
Tickets drop tomorrow at 10am, and they’re expected to vanish faster than a jab.
Harris, the 24-year-old heavyweight powerhouse, steps back into the ring after his July tumble in Edinburgh against Kostiantyn Dovbyshchenko. This time, he’s got new coach Peter Fury in his corner.
Toward, just 22, has been sprinting through the pro league, notching up two rapid victories last year. Now, with coach Dave Coldwell, he’s aiming to make some serious noise in Telford.
Matty Harris says, “After my undefeated streak took a hit, I stepped back to sharpen my tools. Now, I’m recharged and itching to make my mark in Telford. Teaming up with Peter Fury is a game-changer. The man’s a walking boxing encyclopedia. I’m revved up to flip the script and claw my way back into the heavyweight scene.”
Dan Toward chimes in, “I’m not just any bright prospect; I’m the bright prospect. March 1 in Telford is my stage to dazzle. With Dave Coldwell in my corner, I’m set to unveil some top-secret tactics. Last year was just a taste of the spotlight. Telford’s bigger, and I’m ready to hijack the show with a knockout performance.”
