Before the return of Prizefighter on Saturday October 9, Sky Sports celebrates the top ten moments from the first two series in Prizefighter – No Guts, No Glory tonight.
Acclaimed boxing pundit Steve Bunce presents the 90-minute long show on Sky Sports 2 at 9.30pm, with a countdown of the top ten moments from the 13 nights of dramatic action in the first two series. The show is also now available on Sky Anytime.
There have been many magic moments since the opening night in April 2008 and the organisers Matchroom Sport have picked their top ten, including Martin Rogan becoming the first Prizefighter title, Daniel Cadman’s ferocious second round start against the last champion Patrick Mendy and Audley Harrison’s vital win to start him on the road to a world title shot.
The 14th edition of Barry Hearn’s eight-man, one night tournaments sees former European, Commonwealth, British and English champion Matt Skelton open the action against Londoner Ali Adams. The victor in that fight faces the winner of the second bout of the night between Kevin McBride, the Irishman who was the last fighter to beat Mike Tyson and Franklin Egobi, the Tooting fighter.
The third quarter-final pits Michael Sprott against Danny Hughes for the right to face either unbeaten Irishman Declan Timlin or Shane McPhilbin, the 24 year-old Nottingham boxer fighting for the fourth time in his career.
