Fearon lines up a cracker as Choi faces Jackson Asiku
Spencer Fearon has announced that the next Hard Knocks Boxing event, ‘Summer Smash’, will take place at York Hall in Bethnal Green, London on Saturday 18th June 2011. Following on from the success of the ‘Shamrock Showdown’ event in March, 'Mr Boxing' himself has put together a card headed by a super main event as Choi Tseveenpürev takes on Jackson Asiku.
The main feature support for Choi-Asiku features Southern Area light-welterweight champion Darren ‘Mr R&B’ Hamilton against Midlands Area champion Dave Ryan. Both Hamilton and Ryan will be looking to add a second belt to their collection on the 18th as the the vacant British Masters title is on the line.
West Drayton light-middleweight prospect Steve O’Meara takes on Newark’s heavy hitting A.A. Lowe in a highly anticipated eight rounder. Worthing, Sussex’s unbeaten lightweight Alex Dilmaghani is set to face a tough battle against former Irish title challenger, West Ham’s own Mickey Coveney. Next up is another unbeaten rising star, Dagenham’s Joe Catchpole who will face Scunthorpe’s Steve Spence.
Also at light-middleweight, Hayes’ resident Robert Lloyd Taylor is back in action against Leeds hardman Tommy Broadbent. Philadelphia, USA based Irish middleweight Simon ‘Slick Fightin Irish’ O’Donnell makes his first visit to the York Hall to take on Doncaster’s Jason ‘Daddy Cool’ Ball.
Finally, the highly rated London-based Slovakian heavyweight Marek Onda will be making his professional debut.
Shy and retiring Fearon said of his promotion, "I am going to sell it out and also I’m telling you guys this you got to look on the shows now in boxing, people are saying bis dying, that’s rubbish, it aint dying, I’m keeping it alive.
"Hard Knocks is getting bigger and better, I’ve just been told that Sky TV are sending a camera down to see what the show is like and that small hall boxing is not bad and that I’m keeping it live.
"There’s nothing small hall about my shows, nothing small, nothing at all, nothing about me is small, nothing at all, so I don’t know why they call it small hall boxing." (Because the hall is small, Spence - Ed.)
