Favourites Choi and Sykes kept apart in Prizefighter draw

David Haye and Audley Harrison performed the draw for the Prizefighter super-featherweights tournament on November 20 ahead of their now infamous WBA title 'fight' in Manchester.

Harrison’s victory in the Prizefighter Heavyweights III event in October 2009 was the springboard to his fight with Haye, and he joined his rival in Manchester in selecting the four quarter-finals in the 15th edition of Barry Hearn’s eight-man, one night tournaments, live on Sky Sports.

The Mongolian Warrior Choi Tseveenpurev will kick-off the night against Brighton fighter Ben Murphy, and the winner of that opener will face either Prizefighter lightweights semi-finalist Gary McArthur or Derry Matthews – Choi having defeated Matthews in April 2008.

The bottom half of the draw sees undefeated British champion Gary Sykes take on British and European title challenger Scott Lawton in the third quarter-final, with a semi-final against Coronation Street actor and former England Commonwealth Games captain Steve Bell or European lightweight title challenger Gary Buckland going to the victor.

Quarter-Final 1 – Choi Tseveenpurev v Ben Murphy

Quarter-Final 2 – Gary McArthur v Derry Matthews

Quarter Final 3 – Gary Sykes v Scott Lawton

Quarter-Final 4 – Steve Bell v Gary Buckland
